thankfully the bunny and elephant never turtled. that might be a little wrong.

A German doctor has been ordered to pay for a child that 'was not wanted' due to what appears to be a botched contraceptive implant procedure. what i find fascinating is that there was apparently NO EVIDENCE of the device found in the womans body.

i don't really know what to say. having gone through my very own 'unwanted pregnancy', but appearing to be dealing with it fairly well, and having been contemplating some sort of chemical contraception in order to prevent another 'accident', this kind of, i don't know, opens up a few doors of questioning? i've been disuaded in the past simply due to my own laziness and phobia of MDs. there have been some side effects to some of the devices that have been less than enticing also, and then there are those cases where there are people who have become pregnant while implanted (and the device clearly noted) BUT NOT pursuing some kind of retribution. i really don't know.

i know where some of my feelings lie, but i'm not of the kind who freely expresses this information, even after a post work wind down drink. but i do know that i can't understand this want or need to sue for EVERYTHING that goes wrong. is it not simply enough to understand that sometimes mistakes can happen, and that it may be a case of the doctor was NOT at fault (referring to the lack of implant found)? that perhaps her own body was fighting against her? it sounds like some kind of hocus pocus crap of sorts (and i know there are people out there who may think that), but what if this woman's body simply digested the implant? just because it's never previously been documented doesn't mean it can't happen. seriously, everything that is documented HAD to have a beginning. perhaps this is the beginning of something. perhaps there are other women out there whose bodies will absorb and discard the implant the way i imagine this womans body did. makes for some great sci-fi doesn't it?

i don't think i agree that the doctor should pay for the childs maintenance (as it seems the father is being compensated financially for this whole thing). it's setting a precendent now for other cases to go ahead in the 'oh no my contraceptive didn't work and i'm pregnant' scenarios. geez, it's almost the same as suing your local supermarket for selling you that packet of condoms that had one break during one of your 'experiences' and resulting in you becoming a parent. it's almost absurd! but then again, they are germans, and they don't tend towards doing things by halves now, do they?

i still don't know. it's mind boggling. and my brain has been mostly frazzled thanks to the past week or so of not finishing work til the not-so-wee hours of the morning. when people get back from their holidays i may be able to think more clearly, but then again, we are talking about ME. :P

til next....

out of boredom, the bunny raped the elephant to see if it would turtle...

out of boredom i answered a corrupted_wish, that i feel proud of sharing :)

I wish that I had a wine cellar with a lifetime supply of wines from all over the world.

you have the best and most envied wine collection in the world. this leads to many jealous collectors joining together to plot your'natural' demise. in a move that would be the envy of the 'Coalition of the Willing', the worlds most avid wine collectors and tasters devise a plot wherein you would perish 'oh so horribly' during a special invitation only wine tasting at your private cellars. the whole gala event turns into a Cluedo adventure that includes such guests as a Miss Scarlett AND a Professor Plum (an immunologist from the University of Michigan of all places!) and turns into a huge Murder Mystery Whodunnit featuring pens, penicils, notepads and erasers as everyone tries to track down the killer. unfortunately, people get so drunk on your extensive collection of vintage and foreign wines that no one remembers what they were doing and most end up vomiting in the water feature in your foyer.

til next....
