By doing this and all the other means of artificial insemination and embryonic implantation, aren’t we just passing on the genes of those who have problems conceiving?
My own personal belief, in respect of the values I believe are important, the toddler, “two-year-old Mackenzie Stephens”, should, if she wants to be a mom, adopt children when she, Mackenzie, is grown-up and married. Just my opinion.
...incest by Proxy ...!?!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The article doesnt explain how they found out this 2 yo was infertile
What on earth type of test or what were they looking for in the body of a toddler when they found or didnt find the ovaries ???

Turner syndrome
Bonnevie-Ullrich syndrome; Gonadal dysgenesis; Monosomy X
Last reviewed: October 14, 2009.
Turner syndrome is a genetic condition in which a female does not have the usual pair of two X chromosomes.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Humans have 46 chromosomes. Chromosomes contain all of your genes and DNA, the building blocks of the body. Two of these chromosomes, the sex chromosomes, determine if you become a boy or a girl. Females normally have two of the same sex chromosomes, written as XX. Males have an X and a Y chromosome (written as XY).
In Turner syndrome, cells are missing all or part of an X chromosome. The condition only occurs in females. Most commonly, the female patient has only one X chromosome. Others may have two X chromosomes, but one of them is incomplete. Sometimes, a female has some cells with two X chromosomes, but other cells have only one.
Turner syndrome occurs in about 1 out of 2,000 live births.
Symptoms
Possible symptoms in young infants include:
*Swollen hands and feet
*Wide and webbed neck
A combination of the following symptoms may be seen in older females:
*Absent or incomplete development at puberty, including sparse pubic hair and small breasts
*Broad, flat chest shaped like a shield
*Drooping eyelids
*Dry eyes
*Infertility
*No periods (absent menstruation)
*Short height
*Vaginal dryness, can lead to painful intercourse
Are they actually expecting the child someday to undergo in vitro fertilization and carry the child herself?
Can any female without ovaries actually have a pregnancy? Aren’t the ovaries needed for a myriad of other hormonal tasks during this process?
I conclude that they are talking about a third party surrogate mother—someday.

There is so much wrong here I can't begin. A perfect illustration of what happens when society divorces "procreation" from "normal family" and "Mother Nature". And divorces "sex" from "lifelong marriage". Just because Science CAN do something doesn't mean it's right or moral to do so. Science and technology when not guided by moral principles (real moral principles, not whatever people think up in their minds), leads to - well, the kinds of headlines we see very often. Any human endeavor when not guided by moral principles leads to destruction and evil. That's why God has given us moral principles to use as our guiding light.
I will be taking a leave of absence from pinging for a while. I love you all.
Son, I’m putting my balls on ice in case you need them in the future.
