Does " a deep sense of loss, anger, confusion, and yearning that is beyond intellectual reasoning." mean "it is impossible that you can use method of intellectual reasoning to understand the deep sense of loss, anger, confusion and yearning"?
Context:
Within this greater context of fertility, it is possible to understand that even for persons who have long decided not to have children, or are much too old to do so, being deprived of the option and having the decision made for them may involve a deep sense of loss, anger, confusion, and yearning that is beyond intellectual reasoning.

Thank you Joe.
The decision in " having the decision made for them" refers to "don't want to have children" in particular?

No. "Having the decision made for them" refers to other people (3rd parties) making the decision involving them, and not themselves. Or, adverse circumstances might dictate a certain outcome. Either way, the childless couple are affected by events they cannot control.

Thank you McTag.
Of course I had what you said in mind, but my expression was probably misleading. I meant other people making the decision for them, and the decision was inclined to have no children (other people told them: better be childless.)
@oristarA,
Okay, but it seems to be more than opinion or advice.
