THE FIGO FERTILITY DAISY—WHY SHOULD I CARE?
Infertility is a disease/disability that is poorly understood or appreciated by most people who have not suffered from it. As a result, there is generally not much emotional or other support for women and men with infertility, and commonly not much empathy. This causes the distress and burden of infertility to be even greater for the infertile and results in them usually having to deal with this crisis in their life emotionally isolated and without familial or societal support. Furthermore, society as a whole generally does not provide financial support for diagnosis and treatment, so that solving the problem is even more unlikely.
However, infertility is a very significant disease/disability that deserves recognition and support from society. Each individual and society should care about infertility and infertile women and men for many reasons which are described in this tool.
