Another gem from Beloved-But-Obnoxious Cousin
She hopped onto IM again yesterday (twice in one week – I am honored) to solicit a debate from me about in-vitro fertilization for post-menopausal women. Now, first she dropped a statement about it, and when I didn’t bite, she asked if I was there and explicitly asked me to debate her on it: should post-menopausal women be able to get IVF?
I said that I thought no, and when she asked why, I said that I don’t support IVF for anyone. I said that I think life begins at conception, expanded on that a little, and then waited for her response.
She must have been expecting me to argue for it, because first she told me that I was wrong, and then she backed out of the debate entirely, with the excuse that her brain is on vacation. She claimed that ordinarily she’d be able to give me all kinds of evidence against my position, but that she wasn’t feeling up to it at the moment.
Somehow I managed to refrain from asking her why she’d asked me to debate her in the first place, if that was the case. I hope that gets me some time off of Purgatory…
