It’s a difficult one.
Being childless is not life threatening - although of course it is to some women who get so depressed about it they take their own life. That’s terrible, but some women with children take their own life too.
I personally would be happy for the NHS to fund IVF treatment to any woman under 40 who is childless & desperately wants children. I know there are certain hurdles you have to jump over before being considered - trying for over a year etc etc.
Being a step mum shouldn’t matter as that child is not yours.
