re: #281 Aceofwhat?

Many forms of infertility actually do preclude the creation of a child from the mothers eggs and the fathers sperm, Ace.

Do you seriously not know that?

the question of whether the prospective parents have enough raw materials to seed an artificial fertilization is too intrusive and too exceptional to preclude a marriage.

It’s not exceptional at all, Ace. Infertility is a very common thing, and a lot of people aren’t comfortable with the medical treatments that get around it. Many of them are perfectly open and honest about it, too, so there’s no intrusiveness.

So, again:

Do you feel that a couple that is known to be infertile should be able to get married, or only get a civil union?
