Don't feel too bad - if we're being pedantic, you were wrong. I'm assuming he was "born" in a hospital. He was conceived in a lab.

Personally, I think being conceived in a laboratory sounds far more interesting than "your dad spunked in your mum" anyway. And I said this as someone with one child and one on the way (no intervention with either).

I like to think it was some new clinical trial the mum was taking part in and they wanted her in the lab for the birth. Lab grown and born baby.

Imagine what a massive change it would be if babies could actually be gestated and born in a lab. How much it would reduce pregnancy-related death and disability. And the abortion debate would be moot because they'd just stick those suckers in an artificial womb instead.

That sounds kind of ideal in theory, but.. eugenics would become an issue. Really damn fast.

I would argue the spunking makes it more satisfying for the parents. While I was a bit nervous, the 1,5 years it took us for our first child had its benefits ;-)
