Same thing could easily happen here now that fertility treatment isn't restricted to couples with a male partner.
If this was in America it obviously had to be paid for privately,in England now the tax payers would pay for treatment by the NHSS.
No discrimination allowed to be seen,it wouldn't be politically correct.
