The doctor who delivered me committed suicide several years later.

My mother was on birth control pills when I was conceived and
unlucky for her abortion was illegal in 1970 in Texas.

What about something from your own life? (I should've been clearer about that, my bad.)

It puzzles me how someone who gives a baby life, could committ suicide.

Me too; I was slightly shocked when my mom told me about it.

Ahem. A lad I went to school with was always interested in Mortuary Science. We thought this a bit odd, but we all have our callings, as it were. Later while in Uni I was speaking with a mate from school, and he told me this fellow had died. Turns out he had been diagnosed while young with some terminal liver disease, and wanted to see what undertakers do. He never told anyone he was terminal. The undertakers he was working with were so upset, they had to have the fellows at the only other one in town embalm him.

This boy at my school was killed in a car crash, and ironically he crashed right in front of the DMV. He was only 16.

Not really a dark irony, but I post a substantial amount about the Olympics and Roger Bannister, and I'm not even remotely athletic.

When Adolf Hitler's mother was pregnant with him, she wanted to get an abortion. But her doctor talked her out of it.

I'm really sorry, but this thread is hilarious.

Especially with the DMV, sorry.

Wikipedia isn't always right.
Anyone can post on wikipedia.
Yet so many students do school research on wikipedia.

Now that's ironic.

Serves them right for not doing proper research. :twisted:
