That's it! I've solved the world's problems.

I hear of a clinic doing breast reductions on Tuesdays and augmentations on Wednesdays. Some people undergo fertility treatments while others get sterilized. I love to run and can't 'cause of feet, and a friend of mine loves to swim and can't 'cause of a shoulder. (I oughta swim; she's supposed to run.)

If we took all the problems of the world and simply reassigned them to different people I bet the world would be a happier place!

(Granted, implementation's a bitch. Don't pester me with such inconsequential details.)

Yeah, I'd happily donate any fertility I have to somebody who wanted it. (Not my actual *genes*, god forbid -- I've got too much in them that I wouldn't want to pass on. But if there were some generic ChildPotential locked in me, I couldn't give it away fast enough.)

Me too. Why can't we just reshuffle a few things and have my friends who dearly want children be perfectly easily fertile?

I'd also gladly pass on SOME of my genes if I could be absolutely sure others wouldn't make it. Teeth, for example. After losing eight of 'em the rest fit in my mouth, and they're absurdly healthy teeth. I'd be pleased to give those to a child. My mostly-lack-of-allergies would be fine to pass along. As for the rest of me, I'm fond of saying I need a Nobel Prize in medicine for my contributions to the future health of the world: not passing on my genes! :-)

I'll take it! My girls cost waaaay too much to get! (not that I'd trade them for anything or don't they they are worth every penny, mind you! I'd of rather had them cost as much as their brother.)
