The Government has re-thought the idea of free in-vitro fertilization for all, regardless of age. Today it was made clear that the costly science of in-vitro will only be free for women 42 and under. The National Post is taking some of the credit. It says the decision to limit coverage comes two days after it revealed the province was planning to reject expert advice and open up the service to all women, regardless of their age. But the plan for free in-vtro for all was on the table for many weeks before the minister, Eric Hoskins, intervened. Evidence is clear that there is much less chance of a successful pregnancy beyond the age of 42.
