re: #291 Obdicut

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?

Many ≠ all, which is why I qualified my statement accordingly. Read more carefully, s’il te plait.

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?

No.

By the way, i included above a nod to the elderly in order to head off this very question. To oppose the marriage of infertile couples is to oppose the marriage of elderly couples; that’s why i specifically included them.
