IVF

I believe that there are several pros to IVF, but of course there are also cons involved with the process.  While the Church thinks that it is wrong, I believe that if a couple can not have cildren, this is a great option for them.  The main pro to IVF is the fact that it is another chance at having a child for those who have trouble getting pregnant.  Also, IVF has been around for a while and it is relatively safe compared to other ways of pregnancy outside of natural conception.  Some cons are that IVF is extremely expensive and it is not guaranteed to work.  Another con is that is puts the mother at an increased risk for anxiety and depression because it can be very stressful.  Even though there are cons to IVF, I disagree with the Church, and I feel that if a couple wants to try IVF to have a baby, they should.  I also don't think that expensive cost of IVF has to do with the morality of the practice.  

He's Just Not That Into You

         One of the characters in He's Just Not That Into You that relates to what we've been studying in class is Gigi.  Gigi is desperately looking for someone that she can have as a boyfriend.  Gigi lacks self-confidence, and she feels that she needs a boyfriend so that she can be happy with herself.  She also constantly tries too hard when she talks to guys and she thinks too much into when a boy talks to her.  In the end of the movie, she does end up in a relationship with Alex. She relates to what we are talking about in class because she is desperately looking to be in a relationship even though she does not have to be in one.  

        Another character in the film is Beth.  Beth has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Neil for several years, and she feels like they need to get married.  Neil on the other hand does not want to get married because he is happy with the way their relationship currently is.  Beth constantly tries to tell Neil they need to get married, and after she can't take it anymore, they break up.  Eventually, they get back together and Beth realizes she would be happy to be with him even if they did not get married.  In the end, Neil proposes and the two end up getting married.  Their relationship relates to what we learned in class because they exemplify a relationship where marriage does not change their love for one another.  The two of them maintained a  steady, long-term relationship even though they were not married (atleast until the end of the movie).
