So IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) was in the news again last week, as the Italian designer Domenico Dolce went on the record saying that he believed IVF babies to be “synthetic”.

We’ve all been ill

November 29, 2012 by geekmummy 3 Comments

It’s just growing pains, right?

February 4, 2012 by geekmummy 13 Comments

And one of the things I refuse to do is worry needlessly about things that may or may not happen in the future. I might think about them, I might try to do some contingency planning just in case, but I flat out […]
