WHY NOT JUST BUY A PACK OF SEA MONKEYS?:
Women bypass sex in favour of 'instant pregnancies' (Charlotte Edwardes and Andrew Alderson, 25/09/2005, Daily Telegraph)
Women are increasingly seeking inappropriate IVF treatment because they do not have the time or inclination for a sex life and want to "diarise" their busy lives.Wealthy career women in their 30s and early 40s, some of whom have given up regular sex altogether, are turning to "medicalised conception" - despite being fertile and long before they have exhausted the possibility of a natural conception.
They are prepared to pay thousands of pounds for private IVF treatments - even though they have unpleasant and potentially harmful side effects - because they believe it offers them the best chance of "instant" pregnancy.
Funny the way the secular are so scandalized by the idea of celibacy in the Catholic clergy, which the Church believes allows them to serve God better, but then end up with a celibacy that serves only the self. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 25, 2005 12:00 AM
Strange matching of information and opinions. How does a women choosing to self inpregnate become a secular person scandalized by what some faith-based group does?
Don't get the connection.???
