The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bighairymike: AMA suggests taxpayers should fund $100,000 to $300,000 Uterus Transplant surgeries.

No, it does not; you've been suckered by the Washington Examiner.

First, the article, which presented ethical arguments for a hypothetical health issue, was written by a university philosophy professor and a fourth-year medical student and included the clear disclaimer that the views expressed "are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the AMA." Second, it was published in the AMA Journal of Ethics, an editorially independent journal from the AMA. Third, had the Washington Examiner simply run its article past the AMA, it would have bee informed that the AMA did not endorse the procedure.

From the AMA:

Multiple media outlets have published inaccurate stories with inflammatory headlines about an AMA Journal of Ethics® article that explored ethical considerations for uterus transplantation in transgender individuals. These outlets falsely report that the journal article represents the views or policy of the AMA.

Here's a question for you: should insurance companies provide IVF and fertility preservation coverage?
