What the petition asks
Too many people have the basic right of starting a family stopped due to weight.
I want the Government to review access to IVF for people with a high BMI, so that action can be taken to provide a better service and treatment for couples seeking fertility treatment that have a high BMI.
We need to stop fertility discrimination using weight and take a more individual approach.
Because it’s unfair people can be preventing from exercising a basic human right due to unfair weight criteria.
