[This was an inevitable happening.]

Like we can't just grow children in petri dishes... So you put aside some eggs for the unfortunate day you decide you want an organism of your own, and sterilize yourself in the meantime. Problem solved.

[Don't even need men involved, not that Carla would advocate a purely lesbian society.]

Although I wouldn't trust anyone here to be clean on a first glance, none of you keep your papers on you which should be routine, so the condoms are probably a good idea too. At least until you've taken a family trip to the doctor's office. It might save time to do it as a group, rather than waiting on everyone individually... Maybe that takes some of the spontaneity out of it, but you'll have more options in a group. Exponentially more. It probably makes up for it, when you get down to it.

[Thus concludes sex-ed with Carla... Get sterilized, use condoms, get tested, have orgies.]

Well, that's certainly one way to put it.

[dignity_misery]

You're welcome.

[signatures]

Has that always been your view?

[dignity_misery]

I covered several topics, you'll have to specify for me.

[shall_yield_us]

The... doctor's office as a safe haven. Will wonders never cease.

[dignity_misery]

It should be routine, but it seems people here aren't as interested in their health as they were back home.

[shall_yield_us]

I ought to make you the acquaintance of one doctor. He'd... rather change your mind.

[dignity_misery]

[She tilts her head slightly.]

I seem to be collecting doctors.

[intheblanks]

And we could all live in a bubble and stimulate each other via electrodes, clean, but eventually somebody would get a shock.

voice;

[dignity_misery]

Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. But I like to touch people.

voice;

[intheblanks]

As long as it's all sterile.

voice;

[dignity_misery]

As long as I'm sterile and they don't have syphilis.

[synanthrope]

Do it as a group. How charming.

[dignity_misery]

Practical, maybe. I don't know about charming.

[synanthrope]

Find a doctor you trust.

[dignity_misery]

I don't trust anyone, Saya.

[That was, possibly, a lie.]

[nohometown]

[He's already sterile and immune to known pathogens (although he's also unfortunately part alien virus), but Sephiroth can appreciate this advice.]

A sensible approach. Is it a common practice where you're from?

[video]

[dignity_misery]

Pretty common, there are still plenty of people who feel the need to carry the little parasites in their own wombs though.

[Has she ever mentioned she hates children?]

[video]

[nohometown]

If the process is is safe for the child, it seems as though the mother would incur less risks to her health that way, so it would be preferable.

People tend to be resistant to change and new technology.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'm not sure I'd trust someone's papers, personally.

[dignity_misery]

It's cheaper to just get the test than forge the document.

[She knows, she'd made a few in her day.]

[cold_dry_pieces]

[And here he's just kind of teasing.]

Wouldn't that depend on the quality of your unsavory connections?

[captainfuckingmagic]

That is the least fun I think I've ever heard anyone make that sound.

[dignity_misery]

So my pitch is a little lacking, maybe I can redeem myself in action.

[Her voice is so very withering right now.]

[captainfuckingmagic]

Nnnnnoo thank you, scary... lady. You're just a barrel short of whacking things off with all that clinicalism there - it's bad enough you're taking all the... Good parts out without removing them altogether.
