The doctor said that you needed your husband's consent? As if your uterus weren't yours, but was under the control of your husband? That's... that's ludicrous. (I understand requiring that your husband be notified... just as I understand a hospital notifying the next of kin before any operation. But I don't understand requiring consent.)
I wonder whether anyone has written a story with the genders reversed -- requring a male to get his wife's consent before an operation -- to help show just how ridiculous the concept is.
