I would say that under a certain point of view, receiving a diagnosis of infertility is similar to being diagnosed with a terminal illness. Far from me to compare the severity of a cancer to infertility on the physical health of the individual, but both diagnoses break the ideal continuity of the human being. It may be the continuity of life itself. It may be the perpetuation of his memory, his legacy through their descendants. So, from the perspective of the end of the line, both diagnoses at least tangent each other, and hence the devastating impact that infertility can leave on the psyche of those who have to live with it.
