QUESTION: If I love my wife but she is infertile and I desire progeny, but refuse the prospect of a surrogate, should I divorce her and marry another?
ANSWER: Let’s say you divorce your infertile wife. You marry another one – a young and fertile woman. She doesn’t love you that much but she has great wide hips and she gives you a couple of kids. Great, right?
Let’s say one day you wake up with a sharp headache and unable to move your body.
It turns out you had a stroke and are now partially paralyzed. You require 24/7 care, including changing of adult diapers.
