You just would not believe the number of people who seem to think that the solution to "patient's blood pressure is spiraling out of control" is "cut a big-ass hole in patient." And the number of people who apparently think that "oh, a C-section" just never occurred to either doctors or grieving parents of wanted but fucked-up pregnancies.

Man, I'm so cross-eyed with rage that I read #4 as #3.

As god is my witness I'm convinced that the only real explanation for all this horseshit is that people just picture an adorable little nanobaby piloting each individual sperm cell, looking for a warm egg to lodge in and fulfill its adorable little destiny.

People DO! The sperm are always anthropomorphized in cartoons ("Family Guy" was the worst, ugh), and there's the idea that the egg is just kind of WAITING for the sperm, there's nothing special about it, it's the sperm that determines what kind of unique little baby you're going to wind up with. One of my playwriting classmates wrote a character who said "Whenever you feel bad, just remember: You were the fastest sperm!" I don't think she actually thought like that, but the sort of person who talks like that bugs me.
