Fertile Fathers & The Death of the West: Freezing Eggs, IVF, Birth Control, Vasectomies, QuiverFull, & More
Manage episode 378314855 series 3320611
Do you ever ponder how societal shifts and technological advancements are influencing fertility and family structures? In this thought-provoking conversation, we compare the worldwide birth rates of the 1950s to those of today, and question the balance between fertility and prosperity. We shed light on the rise of fertility religions and the growing trend of egg freezing, a path chosen by many modern women who seek to balance their career aspirations and future family plans. We also discuss the controversial role of corporations like Facebook and Apple in this narrative, as they offer to cover egg freezing costs for their employees.
In our discussion, we don't shy away from challenging the status quo. We dissect the decline in birth rates and the impact of secularization on Christian culture, and how this has influenced societal behaviors and attitudes towards fertility. We bring to the forefront hard-hitting topics like the weaponization of Christian values in the immigration debate, IVF, vasectomies, QuiverFull, delaying marriage & kids for college or career, the role of education and feminism in family structures, and how children are often perceived as a financial burden in our society.
As we navigate through the conversation, we also tackle the pressing issue of marriage's role in society and the societal pressure to delay marriage. From the ethical implications of IVF to the importance of fathers' role in fertility decisions, we delve into these thorny issues. We wrap up our discussion by considering the potential benefits of relocating to communities like Ogden, Utah, where family growth is supported, and emphasize the crucial role fathers play in fertility decisions. We leave no stone unturned in our quest to understand the intricacies of fertility, family, and societal impacts.
