It certainly is. Babies are seen as burdens these days.

I don't ever want a baby because I simply don't think I will ever be able to cope with one. I'm not holding out for a miracle cure once my amalgams are removed (which won't be completely until the end of the year), I'm just hoping for improvement.

I appreciate everyone's imput. It's made me feel somewhat better about the whole thing. I was never keen on the idea of sterilization and it's better not to make rash decisions while I am still toxic. By the time I get to being married, if ever, I may feel a lot less anxious about things.
