      This tree explains a lot. We are a product of our environment and Musk is the offspring of a man he himself describes as "evil". And now one of his own children wants nothing to do with him anymore. History repeats. It's also ironic that Musk wants to populate the earth so he increases the amount of offspring by being a spermdonor. So he's a spermdonor to all but (potentially) a father to none.

      What many Canadian women find weird, is how he had ten children in all, but ALL with Canadian women. Since Elon's mom is Canadian, that seems to imply a weird "Mummy" fetish, perhaps. He even married a Non-Canadian TWICE, and never had children with her.

    • @ropersonline
      @ropersonline ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The reason that happens is that IFV is usually a big hassle and expensive, and a strenuous effort, and the chances of success are not as high as people think. So it's common to implant multiple fertilised embryos to increase the chances one will survive, because they often don't. However, when it works, this can also mean that it suddenly works for all or most implanted embryos, and then you face the choice to selectively abort all but the most promising embryos, or to compromise all embryos' chances and face the risks that come with multiple pregnancies. IVF often all but implies abortion, since having a ton of rounds of IVF with single-embryo implantations isn't healthy for the mother (and father), neither physically nor psychologically. Basically, if you are fundamentally opposed to abortion no matter how early, don't have IVF. If you're radically opposed to abortion and have IVF anyway, it'll probably be one "dead child" after the next, or you'll risk becoming octomom. It's a little disconcerting how many strongly anti-abortion people do have IVF and then go through high multiple pregnancies that are really high-risk for the mother and her babies. OTOH, if you're a radical abortion opponent, you might find it more disconcerting to learn how many successful IVF pregnancies do involve selective abortion. One wonders if all the people who undergo IVF have been fully informed of what they're getting into, because it's really not for the faint-hearted, and the outcome often isn't all puppies and kittens.
