On a slightly different tack - did anyone see the recent news report about the labor pollie who's just become a dad - to THREE different women simultaneously?

His wife is infertile (or just too busy? i didn't check). He artificially fertilised a 'friend's' egg then had it gestated in a third woman's womb!

Can you possibly imagine that poor bast@rd kid come Mother's day?

THREE cards and presents...

Dear Egg Mommy...
Dear Birth Mommy...
Dear Mommy by marriage to Daddy only...

let's hope Dad doesn't divorce and remarry or it will be Dear Step Mommy too ( assuming he gets custody ).

Can't help thinking this IVF is a step TOO far and those desperate to raise something as their own should adopt some of the millions of aborted foetuses that just go to 'waste' each year.. or go to an orphange... I hear Malawi is IN this year, Darlings??

Are some of us being a teeny bit too precious and/or selfish?

Any comment?

Stephen Conroy is the senator, The event that set the senator and his partner on this path was Ms Benson's diagnosis with ovarian cancer in August, 2003.

Radical surgery followed and an inevitable conclusion: they would be unable to have children by conventional means

I wonder how many IVF embryos were created only to later be killed to allow this birth?
