Of course this mother has a choice. She can choose to continue breastfeeding
or not. Here is another example of health professionals assuming the role of
Emperor, not advisors. They can say the IVF is less likely to work if she is
breastfeeding (actually we don't know that--come up with studies to support
your claim, your excellencies). They can make arguments for weaning. But
they cannot say "You must wean".
