Exclusive - Are You Single? Then You Are Classified As Disabled, According To The World Health Organization


The World Health Organization (WHO) will change its meaning of disabilities to classify people who do not have partners as 'infertile'. This controversial classification will make in vitro fertilization possible for heterosexual men and women. This means that IVF will be available for everyone who wanted to have their own children. This is according to a report by The Telegraph. 

Some people reacted to this change negatively.

Josephine Quintavalle, pro-life activist and director of Comment on Reproductive Ethics said, “This absurd nonsense is not simply re-defining infertility but completely side-lining the biological process and significance of natural intercourse between a man and a woman.” “How long before babies are created and grown on request completely in the lab?”, she added. Quintavalle is referring to the importance of natural sex for every people to have their own babies.

For WHO’s Dr. David Adamson, one of the authors of the newest standards, the change will be beneficial for everyone. He said, “The definition of infertility is now written in such a way that it includes the rights of all individuals to have a family, and that includes single men, single women, gay men, gay women.”

“It puts a stake in the ground and says an individual’s got a right to reproduce whether or not they have a partner.” Dr. Adamson added. “It fundamentally alters who should be included in this group and who should have access to healthcare. It sets an international legal standard. Countries are bound by it,” He said.

American Disabilities Act defines  disability as someone with “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.” which the new definition of WHO will not cover.

Although these terms have not yet been applied, many are voicing out against its implementation.
