Wow.....just....wow!

"This baby was bought with bitcoins."

No, this isn't a black-market deal brokered in the Internet's shadowy corners. The child was born thanks to a frozen embryo transfer cycle paid for with bitcoins. Lee says it's the first time he's aware of that anyone has paid for fertility treatments that way......

Haha, some good publicity is nice for a change :) We need more 'firsts' like this to keep giving Bitcoin a good name!

I can't wait to tell my family and friends..."You can even purchase babies with BTC now"

This is freakin disgusting and so are you for thinking buying sentient life, let alone human, can be a good thing.

Pull one out.. have a drink.  >:( You too lavajumper...

If you are having fertility problems, quit GMO foods and go vegan. You'll be surprised at how long your boner will last when you stop eating garbage.

And lets not forget about learning to work those kegal muscles !

Uh....do you actually know how to click and read?
The bitcoins were used to pay for medical services. I think that's a great thing, especially considering the state of health insurance in the US.

Certainly this is cool, with important services being offered for BTC. Though I do think the title sounded a bit scary.

Yeah, American journalism at it finest. I probably shouldn't have posted it under that.

There is nothing medical about creating dozens of lives so some redneck can have a litter.

The logic is simple. If you eat disfunctional food, you will also become disfunctional.  ie. gmo'd plants and tortured animal

You'll be hard pressed to find a doctor that will tell you this because most have little/no background in nutrition.

If we stay healthy, they are out of a job. This is why are organic farmers and holistic caregivers are being treated like criminals.

May you enjoy happiness and health in all your days.
May your children enjoy long healthy lives, growing up with the love of their parents.
May they grow and mature to be wonderful.

I admire you defending your beliefs. And you bring up a couple of points I believe are quite true. I am also appalled at OctoMom. I also agree with garbage-in garbage-out.

But, Doctors will NEVER be out of a job. Medical has been around since witch-doctors and seers.

I still think being able to pay for medical care with bitcoins is a good thing, be it holistic, western traditional, eastern traditional or witch-doctor. I'm really not sure what a holistic healer would do if my kid impaled himself on a mailbox while riding his bike, or got stabbed, or all kinds of things that require traditional medical. In the US, without or with insurance, two or three incidents like that could put an average family in financial ruin. Yes, being able to pay in bitcoins, especially at a reduced rate, is a good thing.

Holy crap this is getting too serious.

Hmmm....maybe I should launch MediCoin!

Thank you.
Thx again. ;D
Mucho gracias and likewise, of course. :)

Lets not confuse the typical doc for a Healer, Shaman, mid-wife ect. because 90% of what corporate medicine does relies on reactionary and synthetic methods that are costly, inefficient and are prone to negative side effects. The multi tier aspect is also very undesireable. Its a form of discrimination that goes beyond race.

Healers use natural instincts, holistic wisdom and are not in it for personal wealth/ego. This results in a mostly preventative/ free/ low cost approach to things.

Props to you for being able to acknowlege and respect my opinion.

pEACe

it should be noted that allopathic medicine is not traditional it is a relative newcomer which gained prominence due to politics.

wow that is unbelievable.

The use of bitcoin just keeps getting more interesting by the day.

Another stupid way to sell news. But the worst thing is we always buy it. There is no difference between selling babies for bitcoins and exploiting babies through yahoo because bitcoins are valuable but yahoo is not worth a thing. But citing yahoo news as a credible source of information is like a friend who recommends that you research your way to the top using Wikipedia. :)

Wow, another flame.

Ok, you've convinced me. Bitcoins are bad and I hope nobody ever accepts them again.

I admit it. Yahoo and CNN made the story up. There was no Doctor. There was no bitcoin transaction. Man...you really exposed me.  I fed yahoo the information from my secret lab. I thought I could fool you too, but you're obviously too astute. I'm going to put my aluminum foil UFO hat back on now.

Bitbybit2 is correct and there is no fire...

Plzz step away from the hat. :P

FYI, being vegan is 100% fatal.

The subject was a bit hyperbolic, but the guy who freaked out because a couple wanted to have 4 kids was even worse...  ::)

Yup... this must be why the cancer wards are filling up with us.  ::)

He's drunk and looks like he just ate some street meat. rofl

Next..

I thought you were joking, reading your first post, but you were being serious instead?!?

I was trying to humor you.


Damn straight.

And look.. fat Muslims are doin it too.  :'(

Once again, the propaganda fails to mention anything about the mutants they create.

OMG OMG meat propaganda!

What about the chemtrails?

Was about to post that to discussion

Well...yes...I really do agree with that.  And the comment hit me at a bad time. Sorry.

I still am going to reiterate that bitcoins being accepted by someone in an industry that is highly resistant to these types of innovations is a great thing for bitcoin. Really, A friend of mine emailed me the link. When I read it I was filled with warm fuzzys about bitcoin being accepted in another "Mainstream" field.

No, I wouldn't use Yahoo in thesis, but I figured it was credible enough for the good news.

I could Rant for DAYS about a number of things, the least of which is that this Doctor was able to provide a FIFTY PERCENT discount. All that does in my mind is confirm HippyTechs conjectures about the medical industry. The SOB is GOUGING desperate couples on a daily basis. And considering that I can't think of a single insurance that covers fertility, that means these people are so desperate, they are putting up their own money.

But the upside is that the bitcoin cherry has been popped in this industry. Wow!

GMOs have nothing to do with boners...

It's called Viagra

UK researchers found that vegetarians had a lower overall cancer rate than meat eaters, but contrary to suggestions from other studies, they found a higher rate of colorectal cancer among the vegetarians than among the meat eaters.

Choosing how to die is always nice  :)

Free will is the key. We need to watch where, when, why and how we go about imposing it. ;)

There is alot of dis-information out there and why so many fail.. or made to think they are.

 

Not true. Ever try getting a boner for a GMO papaya?
It's quite difficult for most people...
