Drug use is hunky dory until kids become involved. I've met several
people whose parents were alcoholics ... and they certainly bear the scars
from that. I've never met anyone who admitted their parents were
crack-heads or junkies. Is that because of the stigma of crack/junk or
because the illegal drugs screw up the parent's nurturing skills so badly
the kid doesn't have a chance at succeeding?

I agree that people should be allowed to do whatever they want to
their body ... but I'm beginning to think that the viability of one's ovum
and sperm should be a privilege not a right. Of course the last time a
democracy tried that bad things happened ....
