IVF is no joke! No one can decide today and get pregnant tomorrow! It is really stupid that IVF is being shown this way in Indian television.
a child through sperm donation is a very big step especially for the father. Vedika simply tells Yash that it is OK for him to go for sperm donation because she is the mother... Like really?! if that were the case why can't they accept Arya or for that matter Sowmya? In fact the latter happens to be his own family genes.
the biggest reason that people want to have their own child is because everybody leaves wants to leave the genetic imprint of themselves in the world. And no cancer patient is impotent or infertile. It is the treatment for cancer that causes infertility.. Any impotent guy can still have a healthy baby through IVF. Even if the male is infertile he will still have some sperms, modern science has come so far that even with just few sperms one can still father a child.
And above all why would anybody want to have a child when they have cancer? And that too with donor sperm?! They would not even know whether they will be alive to see the child and more so when that is not going to be yours! The show and its logic really beats me.
It is one thing to want a heir and another to go for a Donor. Adoption is a far better solution but then there can be no drama lol.
