A clinic is advertising fertility services for gay men. The package includes eggs, legal services, psychological counseling, and gay-friendly surrogate mothers. Clinic's pitch: 1) We help gay men circumvent bigoted laws that complicate their marital status and bar them from adopting kids. 2) We help them avoid bigoted or ignorant surrogates who refuse to carry pregnancies for gay couples. 3) Everyone has a right to biological children. Bonus report: "Three-quarters of gay couples pay extra to choose the sex of their baby," and nearly two-thirds choose boys. Conservative critique: It's wrong to create children in "an intentionally motherless home." Clinic owner's spin: I'm ready to brave the controversy. Cynical view: Controversy is the owner's whole business strategy, which is why he's packaging gay parenthood with sex selection and delivering the issue to the religious right.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
