With this thought I will know how to bear the experiences of my children, sad though they may be; if only the cursed drive to beget children didn't aim to extend the misery into infinity! This drive, in concert with the medical arts to keep alive something that is not viable beyond the years of fertility is undermining civilized humanity. So it would be urgently necessary that physicians conducted a kind of inquisition for us with the right...
