Failure to find a sexual partner is now a DISABILITY says World Health Organisation
PEOPLE who don’t have sex or struggle to find a sexual partner to have children with will now be considered as DISABLED, according to barmy new guidelines set to be announced.

By REBECCA PERRING

A person who cannot find a suitable partner will be classed as disabled
Until now, infertility - the failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sex - was not considered a disability.

But now in dramatic move the World Health Organisation will change the standard to suggest that a person who is unable to find a suitable sexual partner or is lacking a sexual relationship to have children - will now be equally classified as disabled.

WHO says the change will give every individual “the right to reproduce”.

Under the new rules, heterosexual single men and women and gay men and women who want to have children will now be given the same priority as a couple seeking IVF because of medical fertility problems.

But critics branded the new laws as “absurd nonsense” arguing that the organisation has overstepped the mark by moving into social matters rather than health.

IVF is classed as a disability
“This definition runs the risk of undermining the work Nice and others have done to ensure IVF treatment is made available for infertile couples when you get definitions off the mark like this. I think it’s trying to put IVF into a box that it doesn’t fit into frankly.”

But Dr David Adamson, an author of the new standards, argued it is a “big chance” for single and gay people.

Single women can now apply for IVF as a disability
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. It's a big change.

"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."

But Libby Purves, presenter of Radio 4’s Midweek, was scathing about the new recommendation.

She said: “When a flaky new human right is suddenly tossed out by a serious UN agency it is not just silly but dangerous.

“The World Health Organisation, which has plenty else on its plate, has long defined infertility as a disability.

“It is sad but not disabled compared to someone who is blind, deaf, mentally impaired, or seriously crippled.”
