[Avodah] childbirth

[Eli Turkel]

Going through old teshuvot of R. Zilberstein I found one from 6 years
ago discussing the case of a woman (without children) who wanted
fertilty treatments even though they would pose a severe threat to her
life.

In his teshuva he quoted both R. Elyashiv and R. Wosner (personal
conversations) as agreeing that one should try and talk the woman out
of the treatments. However, if she insists on the treatment the doctor
can assist since the doctors actions are only indirect. Again the
possibilities of severe depression need to be taken into account
