As a result we have scores of people waiting for such donations, including a friend of mine with leukemia. As much as I love the romantic idea that humans are naturally altruistic and go through tremendous efforts to help their fellow man without compensation, the world unfortunately doesn't work that way.

As a layman I first lament one thing, in prohibiting any thing other than human eggs and a human sperm to be used in fertility treatments, this bill would prevent the purposeful breeding of mermaids, centaurs and any other such mythical creatures which then could have gone on to star in fantasy movies without the use of trick photography. (hint hint, methinks as you pointed out that the bill writers weren't grounded in the reality of having a CLUE about fertility treatment procedures) Thank you Dr. Lee for a full physician’s take on this bill and why it just doesn’t cut the mustard.
