To get back on topic, does anyone think that being handicapped should be a metric used to prevent people from having kids artificially if they are able to consent to it? I can only see legitimate concerns with those with cognitive disabilities (or to use a term we do not use anymore: mental retardation).

This is why I tried to further explain handicapped when I stated physical capability should be considered; as handicapped it a pretty broad brush. I t is also why I said parentS. I should have probably extended that to caregiver. If their is no one in the household physical capable of raising a child then that should be considered when discussing ART. Also why I mentioned limitations in the OP . 

You do bring up a good point that mental capacity should be considered.
