Propagation of the species

In Adult Two class we are studying the reproductive system and the wide range of conditions that go wrong with it --from infertility, to prostate enlargement, to hormone disorders, cancers, miscarriages and sexually transmitted infections. I guess it stands to reason that this thing of sex, that so enamors our society, would have a plethora of potential problems.

It is fitting too that we should be studying this during the bloom of Spring, when reproduction is happening all around us from the bees to the calves and the daffodils to the caterpillars.

Personally disturbing was learning that having never born a child, I have an increased risk for ovarian, breast and uterine cancer. Clearly God designed us to reproduce : )
