Anonymous poll …
Yes, I know, some things cannot be boiled down to a simple sentence. But a single sentence (or simple poll question) can start a dialog.
Go ahead, answer honestly, I dare you.

There was some very upsetting “news” that I read about a woman in northern California who tried to kill herself and her young daughter with severe CP in a car by hooking up the exhaust pipe — the child died and the mother lived. All accounts were that she was a “super-mom” and loved her child dearly.
A friend of a friend of mine got admitted to the hospital cause she tried to kill herself. She gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby a few weeks back, but got PostPartum Depression.
Her fiancee and the father of the child is having trouble getting a visa and can’t get to her.
None of the above. But I often wish I had sex on a different occasion. See, the condition my daughter has occurs in 5000 to 8000 births. Had she been concieved on another night, she would have been born as a completely different individual. Hence, she would be 5000 to 8000 times less likely to have the same condition she has now. Right?!
