Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: So Nuala Scarisbrick in her Right of Reply considers that the right of children "not to be artificially manufactured, bought, sold, frozen, stored, thawed, etc" takes precedent over their right even to exist.

Children certainly have the right to be protected from dogma that would prevent them from being born at all and there is no reason to believe that their chance of leading a happy life is any less than anyone born under different circumstances.

Perhaps we should wait until such children can give us their opinion.
