[Margaret Pilkington]

Having a child is not a 'right'.......you might say that having treatment for cancer isn't a right either......having cancer could kill you(even though the chances of a remission are greatly improved)....not becoming a mother because your sexuality is of a same sex partnership, will not kill you(not directly anyway).

The drug that is going to give women six months longer to live is seen as 'uneconomic'...this, despite the fact that those who have trialled the drug have lived far longer than the six months this drug is supposed to extend life by.

The drug has been in development for more than ten years....the company that developed it(Roche) have offered the drug at 60% of its cost, but still the NHS say it is uneconomic......they only wanted to pay 40% of the cost.
