Dolce and Gabbana absurdity

[ProfessorChaos]

Apparently IVF produces "synthetic children." WTF.

I saw this and it made me SO SO mad.

Well, if I made enough money to walk into a store of theirs I wouldn't go in!!!! I think any couple that goes through IVF (or really, any IF treatment) is incredibly brave and extremely strong. Much respect to you!

I saw that article yesterday, and it really pissed me off.

Someone on 3TIF (forgive me, I forget who it was) mentioned recently that her father referred to IVF children as "synthetic." (She and her H aren't at IVF yet.) So it's sure not just passé celeb designers who miss their '90's heyday and want attention who say it, sadly.

Ignorant, ugly, unkind. When you really think about it, what other three things would you want to be considered less than those?? I don't understand some people.

Worse is a few years back, Gabbana wanted a child. His own biological child! And they blame this on their strict catholic upbringings. Um guys.... you're openly gay, how un-catholic can u be! They make me angry!

I would boycott but I can't afford their shit anyway:)

I am so glad someone posted this. I saw it at work today but was trying to stay off the boards. What bugs me the most about it is just how inaccurate it is. Clearly he does not know what the word synthetic means so I think I just feel sorry for him. or, possibly it was mixed up in translation? Is the process synthetic as compared to 'typical' conception? Yes. But the children produced have no synthetic chemicals, DNA or make up. if he was going to slam IVF I would have thought he could have been more educated on the topic.

This made me so angry. Keep your judgements to yourself!

Unfortunately that's what you get with freedom of speech: a bunch of assholes who don't know when to shut up. Maybe they're mad that people are spending money on IVF and not their crummy purses? All I know is I'm glad I never bought something of theirs.
