1. I want to know if I get a tax deduction for every egg, every month
for the last 30 years.

3. What about my sperm? Is there a deduction for it as well?
After all, it is pre-embryonic.

4. Your sperm too

Course, it might be better if we incorporate ourselves...as stem cell producers...and then pay no taxes as well as get deductions.

12. If we're incorporated, we'll just have Arthur Andersen manage the books.
I could book sperm deductions well in advance of their production and bilk my shareholders out of billions. And the best part, no shredding.

13. If you two practice cyber sex, but really, really believe that it will
'produce' you might even be eligible for some of that Faith Based Funding.

9. "Every sperm is sacred..."
DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

2. A Good Point, Sir
At the very least, dependent deductions ought to commence at conception....

6. Good point, BR_Parkway...
So if my wife and I decide to have a child can we have our additional IRS deduction at the moment of conception?

Why should we have to wait nine months?

This is totally unfair to the unborn!
