I see your point. But it is not the act which I am thinking of. I knew a case of a man (not gay) who had acted as a sperm donor, and later had a complete change of philosophy. He knew his progeny, carrying his bloodline, was out there.
In any case, I think sperm donation and surrogacy both are immoral and should be illegal as well.
“Actually, no child ever has a say in his/her conception.”
In a Christian purview, they actually do. For within this framework children conceived are done so within a sanctified union of man and woman, who create him or her naturally, in a state of love and commitment to eachother and to God. Isn’t this why up until about the 1960s marriage was considered binding for a lifetime, meant to be entered into with grave and somber regard, with children as God’s gift, to be lovingly guided and nurtured? Has the Pill, no-fault divorce, recreational sex, and gay rights not torn this asunder?
this is not loving a child....this is "having" a piece of property.....
there are consequences to every single act.....
where will it all end?....
Even within that framework, it is still not the child's choice to be conceived. If only the child did have that choice...
True. Not the choice, but at least better chances than in other frameworks for a reasonable foundation.
It should never have begun. Let’s hope it will end somewhere, and the sooner the better.
And when this kid has a son he will walk away because men are bad for children and it will confuse them if he’s there.
Good point.
