LDP's Noda, 49, pregnant via fertility treatment


Seiko Noda a Liberal Democratic Party member of the Lower House ,the former minister in charge of posts and telecommunications as well as consumers affairs, has become pregnant through artificial insemination using an egg from someone in the United States after years of fertility treatment. She has ever clashes with LDP House of Councilors member Yosuke Tsuruho , her former partner who was initially opposed to the treatment.

She is a major advocate of a system to allow married couples to have separate surnames, and current law stipulates that couples should share the same surname.
She was once touted as a potential candidate to become the country's first female prime minister. She has ever asked the government to implement drastic measures to reverse the falling birthrate, Last May, she expressed her eagerness to run in the next leadership election of the LDP.




In my opinion, I think Japanese have more modern tradition more than before. Because now Japanese woman don't like to marry, so it not a big deal that Seiko did. Although, she didn't married, she have right to has her own baby. She is just a human but she has well-known, so this is the problem that she have to explain why she did it to the people. Moreover, whatever she did, every press will follow her behavior. I think she should have more careful in every her action, otherwise it will be the scandal.
