[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh calm down.

Is anyone else a little bored with the show?

Yes.  Mr. Anonymous and I are watching it mainly for laughs at this point.  The scene with the village doctor patting Matthew on the back and announcing he has a "transected spinal cord"...jump from that to tell Matthew he may have permanent spinal damage to Matthew announcing to every woman in sight that he is no longer capable of sexual performance [sorry, but [b]Julian Fellowes owes an apology to paralyzed men everywhere who father children every day[/b]].  I just sat there laughing.  This is really turning into quite a high comedy.   I fully expect Matthew to be walking next week, with full sexual prowess restored of course.[/quote]I can't speak to the authenticity of this but it did make me think about how different we view paralysis these days.  It still would be awful but the world is now more accommodating to people in wheel chairs and we wouldn't think of it as a barrier to having children.  Plus having children in and of itself wouldn't be quite as important as it was then. I am grateful for this difference![/quote]

Paralysis has never been a barrier to having children.[/quote]
