The World According to LaTaeya

        We all know the stories about vampires and their origin, but with the modern age of the Vampire comes new and innovative methods involving their love life, specifically reproduction.  I can understand the concept of a half vampire like Blade being able to reproduce because his mother was originally human, and then bitten during pregnancy. There are parts of him that know what it means to be human including his body.  Charline Harris’ take on Vampire reproduction is more realistic in my view.  She writes in her story that vamps can not have children.  True blood elaborates on the subject by saying that vampires can not reproduce or even breathe air, because they do not have electrical impulses in their bodies.  After all they are dead.  Which makes sence.  There are many Vampire novels out there that are testing the boundaries of the element of vampire, by allowing their characters to be able to have children.  Currently the most popular is Twlight “Breaking Dawn” by Stephenie Meyer.  Bella gets pregnant with Edward’s baby.  How is this possible?  I know it is a fantasy, and I understand the magical element concerning vampires, but to me it does not make sence.  The interesting part of being a Vampire is that you do not have a family tying you down.  You move from place to place experiencing the world and everything the thirst for adventure and blood has to offer.   You are alone and searching for purpose and love.  You are dangerous, mysterious and vicious.   Children?  I don’t think so.  The idea of children clashes with the lifestyle of being a Vampire, no matter what era you are considering.  Can you imagine Leather, Lace and baby blankets? Lol  What  do you think of Vampires having children?
