Test Tube Twins Are the New Black
Praise be the wonders of modern medicine: If you're a woman who plans to have more than one child, but you understandably want to pop them out according to a specific schedule while also minimizing the disgusting fat phase, IVF is the obvious solution. Instead of waiting around to conceive naturally and hoping for the statistically slim chance of twins, you can just stick a few embryos in at once and ta-da, you've got an insta-family. As Page Six magazine reports, for a certain breed of Manhattan wife—one whose husband can afford to pay for their precious offsprings' lives to begin in a test-tube to the convenience of all concerned—twins are a status symbol and "a conspicuous sign of wealth." But as always, there's no such thing as free lunch: Trying to get two places at an elite pre-school is hellishly stressful, you know.
