Did You Know - Lewis Black

From an interview with Comedian Lewis Black (one of my favorites), published in Playboy Marginalia, April 2007...

"Since the President thinks stem cells are alive, I've adopted three dozen embryos, and I put them in my freezer. And every time I open it up I go 'You kids stop it!" Because I want to be a good father. I'm actually going to take them as a tax write off."

Hmm, seems like Lewis has a good point there - if they are really children, sanctified life or some such thing, shouldn't we be able to take a tax deduction the moment we know we're pregnant? Where the hell is the tax break when you need one?
