Jennifer Aniston: on baby watch (on film)

Hmm. Considering Jennifer Aniston claims to be sick of having her womb stalked for any evidence of pregnancy, one wonders why she has decided to sign on to a new movie with Jason Bateman called 'The Baster', which as you might have already guessed, is about a woman who gets pregnant via artificial insemination. I don't know what's more disturbing, the plot line in which Bateman, playing her best friend, swaps the donor sperm with his own and later has to live with the reality that the baby is his child or the headlines accompanying the press release for the movie including beauties such as 'Jennifer Aniston Fertilizes The Baster', 'Jennifer Aniston to get inseminated' and 'Jennifer Aniston to get basted'.

Um, ew?

Silicon womb more 'natural' than your own

"LONDON: A team of UK researchers will soon be conducting trials of a "silicon womb" inserted into a woman's own womb which incubates embryos to provide a more natural environment"

Right. I am clearly confused as to how a SILICON womb can prove to be MORE NATURAL than a womb inside a woman's body that is NOT SILICON.

Essentially, because scientists think that women's reproductive systems are too complicated and unpredictable it is better to implant embryos in a silicon capsule for women undergoing IVF because the embryos will survive better. It takes the 'guesswork' out of IVF.

Damn us women and our crazy fallopian tubes.

Pregnancies are supposed to be biologically precious. Evolution has made us work that way for a reason.

*Sigh*
