Using magick to get pregnant, Is it right? Options

I don't know if I'm posting this on the right board, it's such a strange topic. But anyways, on another forum that I frequent, the topic of getting pregnant with the aid of magick was brought up. It was a young teen who asked, and we've quit the debate over it. I thought it would be interesting to bring the question over here, and see what others have to say about it.

My own opinion stands at forcing a teen pregnancy is wrong, they aren't established yet, too young, y'know the whole dealio.

Disclaimer: My opinion is my own, and not to be looked at as a universal one. Different societies go by different ethics and morals. I speak for the Canadian/American societies, based not only the horribly scary statistics, but also through witnessing some aweful cases.

But it's interesting to note, is it not, that the earliest magic and religious artifacts (indeed, among the earliest artifacts altogether) are fertility charms? To me, the evidence seems practically conclusive that magic(k) has always been bound up with physical reproduction - human, animal and plant - as well as the metaphorical 'reproduction' of the cycle of the year celebrated in Wicca (among other faiths) and, through that, the rebirth and regeneraltion of the human soul.

I understand your take on the ethical question of the individual involved chosing to become pregnant, DollHouseKitty, but I'm not sure where the magic comes into it. Are you asking about 'professional' ethics as a witchcraft practitioner or elder? Would they be different if you were, say, a pharmacist? Or is it broader than that?

When you talk about witnessing awful cases, are they specifically magic related? The way I see it, there is clearly a crisis in Western culture concerning this whole issue (I think I can confidently subscribe the UK to your US/Canada axis on this one), but my opinion broadly speaking is that we need a more mystical, sacred aproach to what is, after all, still the miracle of reproductive life, whether the pill has been popped and the genome sequenced or not.
