Yep, that was such a classy response - I said I liked this Evie before, and I see no reason to change my opinion  :-)

Theoretically. I'm not familiar with egg donation but you need to fit a lot of criteria to be able to do it and it's very hard to find a doctor that will assist you through the process, of any kind of elective sterilisation, if you're not looking for a vasectomy specifically. Especially if you're under 35ish and haven't already had multiple children.

Edit to add that people with penises do get refused vasectomies, but to my knowledge it's nowhere on the scale for people with uteruses getting refused equivalent procedures.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't that partially because a vasectomy is minor surgery that is much easier to reverse while a tubal ligation is major surgery, more expensive, requires more recovery time, is harder to reverse, has forty times the risk of mortality (4 out of 100,000 instead of 1 out of  1,000,000) and  in every way more drastic?

Maybe things will change if non-surgical sterilization clears FDA trials.

War Sparrow:
Nobody wants my eggs. My genetics are a crime scene.
It is riskier-any surgery is-but I have no intention of using it (People nagging about kids? Tell them you hate the sound of a child's laughter. They'll never ask again).

Re:Comic. I, uh, kind of want to read Evie's thesis on Post Singularity Psychology.

St.Clair:
Comic's up.

BenRG:
I've read through today's strip twice and have stuck on a single thing in Faye's 'voice-over' in panel 3. She said 'we' have better things to do than look for a new relationship. Who is 'we', I wonder and why is Faye automatically including them in her personal priorities? Those who know my posting history will know that I have a preference in my answer to this but I'm interested to see if this turns out to be significance of if it is just a typo on Jeph's part!

Now, I also find myself wondering just what the first face-to-face between Amanda and Evie was like. I'm foreseeing a lot of stuttering, random subject-changes and failure to make eye contact on Amanda's part.

Prediction for next week: Evie takes Bubbles to one side to talk about her feelings for Faye. When Bubbles tries to wave it off, Evie will say something like: "As I haven't got my doctorate yet, I'm legally restrained from calling this 'classic denial'."
