Review IVF Treatment in NHS England and Wales for Same Sex Male couples.

Closed 611 signatures

What the petition asks

As two dads ourselves our family was created via UK Surrogacy at a cost to us of £36k, we're fortunate enough to be able to afford IVF. Currently in England and Wales Same Sex Male couples are discriminated against when it comes to fair and equal treatment with regards to being IVF on the NHS.
One of the key findings from the survey by the Family Equality Council shows that 63 percent of LGBTQ millennials, those 18-35, are considering expanding their families by becoming first-time parents or by having more children. The methods have also changed: 63 percent of LGBTQ people planning families expect to use reproductive technology, foster care or adoption services – a shift from older generations who relied on intercourse.
