The co-parenting trend
The bizarre phenomenon of platonic co-parenting seems to be increasingly popular. In fact, a TV network in the UK has created a reality show based on the concept. Matchmakers bring a guy and a girl together who are interested in having a baby but not in having a spouse, or even in having sex. This is so gobsmackingly unconventional that I am left at a loss for words. So, for the moment, I'll just note that there's no accounting for tastes. I'm sure that many readers will agree with me.
There will be no BioEdge newsletter next week because of the Easter holiday.
