Twins for the Aging Affluent

Multiple births are no longer chance occurrences. Fertility drugs are guaranteeing pregnancies and often times more than one egg is fertilized. Result? Twins. Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Rebecca Romijin, Geena Davis, Nancy Grace and now Lisa Marie Presley are among just a few. The only point to my blog is that having twins used to be a more rare occurrence and has now been mainstreamed by those well-to-do folks that can throw down the big bucks to produce their offspring and the "medical procedure" usually results in twins. No act of God or some divine intervention at work here. Just more of the rich buying what they want and cheapening the entire experience which once was more natural and special.
