Really good, YYB! I've believed this for 25 years. It is not far away now. Many of the religious side will accept contraceptives, but not birth control; And there will always be some that will claim the mere prevention of conception is evil, sinful, etc.

The article making reference to non biological families is interesting, eh? I haven't thought about this. Is this the next huge socially devisive issue looming in 2015?! I wonder what percentage of people are really capable of going there. Some would say it is a direct clash with evolutionary imperatives. It certainly sounds like brave thinking. I hope other links can be turned up.

I'm thinking of this in a broader sense than adoption, etc., but rather as a more open and porous social order somewhat like certain native cultures valued at one time (and likely still do). I have a brother married to a Native where extended family and friends are almost indistinguisable from direct family. You visit, you stay, or you go, whatever. If you're still there the next day you'll probably ending up doing family stuff like taking the kid to hockey practice, or picking up grub at the store. There are almost no formalities...no categories.
