Good point, ElQuesto.
I, too (if it were up to me), would prioritize major research funding towards addressing conditions that may not be addressed any other way with current medical treatments/therapies. I am glad of course that I am not the one who needs to decide what constitutes priority over something else.
In a large chunk of the world it is not such a complicated issue from a bio-medical (and even legal) point of view for two women or two men to have a child who is biologically related to one of them (if this is what they want), and then legally becomes related to the other parent, so that they can be protected as a family unit.
Societal constructs and contexts in which such families live and raise children are for a story apart, as even best legal maneuvers that same-sex parents can take to protect their family unit may not prevent unwanted experiences - but that also happens in other atypical societal/family structures anywhere.
