Pregnancy In Second Life

An anonymous reader writes "SF Weekly newspaper sent a (male) writer to get pregnant in Second Life, to find out how it works. The article is the first installment in a three-part series." From the piece: "For $3,500 in Lindens (about $12 US), I could buy the pregnancy kit and get knocked up. I had the cash, so I made up my mind: without much fanfare -- without a partner or even a nurse and a turkey baster -- I bought the kit and got started. I tacked on a body shape that bumped out my stomach to a late-first-trimester size, making me a little more kettle-shaped. Then I switched on the UPA, or 'ULTIMATE Pregnancy Attachment' (emphasis theirs)."

Sex, sex, sex, doesn't anyone just kill anymore?

Seriously though, can't we somehow link this story to the one about on-line virtual hookers in WoW?

More seriously, watch out. The religious right doesn't mind if children and others are running aorund blasting each other pieces, but when you start adding sex to the game you'll have them on you like wolverines.

Hmmm... virtual Falwells.....
