Naturally (no pun intended) it's about developing an ethical framework for the use of reproductive technology. wooooo.
And, as I delve into the bloody muddy waters of birth control, roe v wade, rights, creation theology, products, results, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), third party donations, etc, etc, I note with trepidation and an eerie sense of nearness that...
* the adorable, lovely lovely home i am staying in belongs to the gracious and wonderful recipients of an IVF baby who they had made created helped participate in forming and are now raising gratefully and lovingly after years and years of infertility.
* the first IVF procedure that ever took place was in...lo and behold Bristol, UK. Right down the road.
* i am probably psychotic and love conspiracy theories. so i can't tell if any of my thoughts about the booming pharmaceutical/reproductive technology industry "fueled chiefly by what would induce a woman to keep a prescription, and only if necessary by what was ethically, emotionally, spiritually, or even physically best for the woman" have any basis whatsoever.
* who cares, i am so tired. of. papers. wrote. 32 pages, at least, last week. going. insane. samm. going. to never let me have babies anyway at this rate because grad school is going to make him run away forever.
baaaack to that paper.
