Angelina Jolie Reveals She Had Ovaries Removed

"If thine eye offend thee pluck it out."

It's annoying to have to note that the press, among its many other lapses, now does not grasp that "parent," "father," and "mother," used without qualification, mean "biological parent," "biological father," and "biological mother."

And "have a child" just means "biologically, have a child," if that means "get pregnant and stay that way long enough to give birth to a living child."

Still, will it be long before medical science comes up with a way to bring into the world a child who is genetically yours but was neither conceived nor carried nor born in the normal, animal way of these things?
