Life is all about choices and chances. A couple who decides on this sort of treatment is probably optimistic that it will work for them. Even if it doesn't, taking the chance to become a natural parent is worth it for them. I don't see any difference between that and someone who spends $25K - $40K on a wedding and gets divorced a few years later or someone who goes to an expensive college but doesn't graduate. It's all taking a chance.
