I'm just pissed that I clicked the link and gave those evil bastards a tiny amount of revenue. It really helps when people post at least a little bit of information about what it is they want people to check out.

If I would have seen this thread before all the other threads and social network links to the same damn story, I could have saved myself the embarrassment of the NSA thinking I was interested in the subject.  Wink

Wrong topic title!! Should be "Meet the world's first Bitcoin baby"!!

Ermm, nope maybe you should read the article.

Dr. C. Terence Lee, a fertility specialist based in Brea, Calif., flashes a photo of a beaming infant across a projection screen and announces: "This baby was bought with bitcoins."
No, this isn't a black-market deal brokered in the Internet's shadowy corners. The child was born thanks to a frozen embryo transfer cycle paid for with bitcoins. Lee says it's the first time he's aware of that anyone has paid for fertility treatments that way.

yeah, the article title is "Meet the world's first Bitcoin baby"

Whatever the title should be this article is classic CNN click bait, little of substance, just using the bitcoin name to garner attention

I am ok with that, any news at this point is good news.

Sadly you're probably right, CNN still has more reach than the quality of its reporting deserves.
