My Lady of the Lantern

Someone in my immediate family bought me a magazine to which he subscribes regularly. It was just a normal general life magazine. But the magazine was not meant for a casual read. It had an article/advertisement of some rockstar fertility clinic with super stats. Apparently, if you land there you will never come out unless you have a baby in your arms. Gee, thanks! And I love to take inputs from people who otherwise never ask me anything, or enquire about my status or plans for a baby or two. ^WiseGuy^

This is not likely to be a classic post on Infertility in Media: A Story on Stereotypes . No Sir, since my shallow self is out right now...I better not look for clay in the quicksand that my mind has become.. Day before yesterday, somewhere in the evening, I froze on to a TV Show (a four-times a week soap), which I catch very rarely. Anyways, guess what the lovely story was... Woman preggers by elder bro (her then spouse)...hubby dies and baby dies in an accident...woman now married to younger bro and is preggers again... Husband alive but the baby dies inside the uterus....Next, the drama peaks when the doctors reveal that this woman has lost the ability to conceive/carry to term any pregnancy (becoming pregnant could be fatal for the mother).. Oh hell! No more progeny...the family will die with its current people and nobody will carry the family name forward...hell...doom... death! Guess what the obedient now-p-nownot-p woman does... she hires a woman to tempt her husband like a nymp...
