Ja, what I had in mind was to block the parenthood emotions while the
*decision* was being made to do or not do parenthood. After the
decision is made, then the parents would stop using the hormone
blockers. This would allow all those humans nurturing emotions to kick in
that have proven so effective in the survival of our species, by preventing
parents from fleeing away from the shrieking wretches they brought into
this previously quiet world. {8^D

Pon farr? Was that the time Spock got horny and nearly slew Kirk? Or
was it the time Jethro back at the double wide parked his pickup next
to the waterhole and diesel fuel leaked out onto the surface and ignited? {8^D

Im with ya there, bud. In my ideal world, *every person* has complete
power to veto the creation of a new human life with their genetic material.
It would still take two to say yes, but any one person can say no. Thats
the ideal. spike
