Answer from: Sheena Lewis, Professor of Reproductive Medicine
I think it is very difficult and I think it is also as you say it’s quite different for male and females at the moment. I mean women quite often would have a sister to share eggs and women would be quite happy with that and there’s a sort of a almost a collaborative approach to having a child but I know that men would find it very difficult to ask their brother for sperm and they would also find it very difficult to admit to a family member that was needed but I think that’s all changing. I’m very glad to say that is the case and I think there’s much more equality now within how couples are being treated and how they perceive their manhood or their womanhood and I’m hoping that we can get away from those old stereotypes and move forward into a much more healthy place.
