Well there you go my friend, a service provided by the City of Calgary which will subsidize your adoption process so it only costs you a mere 200$, not to mention the city also contributes to the Humane Society which will help you adopt a dog cheaper as well. Here's hoping you get the next Air Bud and you can bring some welcome investment in the local movie scene.
So now your ridiculous straw man argument has been shot down does this mean you're on board with subsidizing the cost of in-vitro?
As for my personal opinion, the province pays for contraceptives, vasectomys, abortions, all these things to prevent unwanted babies. Maybe it's my irrational belief in karma that makes me feel we should be helping out that small percentage of the population who for some medical reason aren't able to naturally concieve. I do think there does need to be a age limit and maybe the level of subsization should be connected with income.
I'm at the age now where I have a fair number of friends who are popping out their first kids, seems like a pretty dickish move to say to some people they can't experience that. I see places all over the government where so much money is IMO wasted, seems to me you'd have to be a pretty cold hearted scrooge to not agree to atleast partially subsidize the costs.

Hey, I don't want some mutt from the humane society. God know what kind of problems those dogs have... why adopting a mutt from the humane society would be like adopting a child here in Canada.... God knows what kind of mother and father they had and what kind of medical problems the kid has.... thats why people go the route of IVF isn't it?... so they know for sure what kind of genetic and family history the child has (their own). I want to be sure of the gene pool my kid comes from so give me some of your money so I can procreate and pass down my excellent genes to future generations.
And while we're at it, can you give me a little extra so my wife can get bigger boobs? It would really improve the quality of her life and I guarantee it would improve mine....
