On IVF

“The things not to think about are: the money you are spending. How they can’t find the problem — my sperm is better now, once I quit hot baths and Diet Coke, and my wife’s plumbing looks normal on the hysterosalpingogram. Don’t think about the other dudes jacking it five feet away. Just try to keep the chair from squeaking. Try to hit the cup.”
 — Paul Ford, The Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
