I am LDA. Learning this explained why I heard, unlike the kids that were hers, this phrase “ no child of mine would ever act this way”, all while she pretended I was, actually, her child. It really messed with my head. I asked her àbt it once, and she denied ever saying it- over and over again

Contrary to popular opinion, the fertility industry is largely unregulated and highly corrupt. Fraudulent and misleading
Information is rampant. Proposed protections are repeatedly voted down.

Right?!!! I’ve had ppl who bought sperm or eggs say it’s well regulated, and they fervently want to believe it. Thén I show them the reality. Plus the logic-you can’t buy organs but you can buy potential peoole? And not disclose the names of the providers of the material?

I am glad you had someone who recognized your grief ànd was willing and able to hold space for you 🩷

This sadly not surprising. Ppl think the industry is subjected to strict oversight. That is just something the industry wants ppl to believe.

There used to be an easy way to contact SCOTUS to share your thoughts with them. I noticed that has disappeared

My brother died before the church began to be held accountable for its crimes. It’s sickening that this continues to be an issue.

This is really interesting. I had maybe one or two blisters as a child. My spouse had chickenpox as an adult-it was horrifying. We have both had shingles vaccinations but no shingles. Hope we never do. It sounds horrible.

My male primary care physicians advice to me for TEN years was to “look it up online”.

His mental capacity is highly questionable. Now, what’s up with the people who listen to this stuff and nod along?
