But she did not become pregnant, and they started to try and went to doctors and laboratories and did the whole program inside out and back and forth and then return to beginning and starting again, ten years or so. Finally, she became pregnant when she was 44, but after just some years the daughter turned out to be emotionally handicapped, and dysfunctional in her social behavior, now going to a special school, but being handicapped for the rest of her life. Doctors say it could be that the mother was too old, or a medical consequence. The mother and the father have a marriage in ruins, no money left, both trying to avoid final contemplation on their status by having developed several absurd hobbies and most hilarious behavior patterns, really. He once earned good money - he know is on social wellfare.

If it shouldn't be, then sometimes you're better off if you simply accept that, and let it be to keep on trying. the sins of the parents in this example will be payed for by other people financing them, and the daughter pays with her life as well, will ever stay dependant, will always need help, and will never be normal but will be seen as a "freak".

Thanks, but no thanks. Fanatism always is a bad thing.
