S2 E5: Breaking Radio Silence!? (5/5)

Surprise finale of Big Questions! (Part 5 of 5). 

Starting this mini series we expected to film four episodes to chronologically go through what happened with Chris's unplanned pregnancy and answer some Big Questions.  

Little did we know a couple of weeks after finishing filming our fourth episode, there would be some very unexpected news. In this final episode we address the latest development as well as walk away with a lesson about the responsibility to human uteri.   In this mini-series, we tackle some major life-changing events that make us ponder the meaning of it all.
