I am not Catholic, but I understand and appreciate the consistency of this argument.

"Artificial Reproduction"

Ain't nuthin like the real thing baby
Ain't nuthin like the real thing

Interesting

I'm not either, but I totally agree with the good Bishop.

Every time man invents some new technique or science, we figure out some way to abuse it.

While I'm leery of the cloning, I can't agree with opposing IVF. Without it, I wouldn't have six nieces and nephews.

Living in a cave can't be all that romantic, can it?

[nmh]

I agree with him too.

The slippery slope is alive and well.

[Petronski]

Without it, I wouldn't have six nieces and nephews.

It's quite possible you had many more than that, but that they were left to die in a glass dish because they were not needed.

[bejaykay]

Without out-of-wedlock babies I probably would not have a few nieces and nephews. My love for these kids (and their parents) does not make what their parents did right.

[little jeremiah]

Later pingout.

[balch3]

As is artificial contraceiption.

[mockingbyrd]

I am sick of people announcing that they have a right to have a baby. No you don't. You do not have a right to another human being. But it is this mentality that leads to this slippery slope.

[ZULU]

That really wasn't my point.

I'm not against progress. It would be nice if progress came without moral dilemmas. It doesn't. And unless we have a bedrock of faith to support our beliefs, we may very well wind up wishing we were still in that cave.

"I am sick of people announcing that they have a right to have a baby. No you don't. "

And you have no right to stop someone from having a baby by any means they can if that is their wish.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

It's quite possible you had many more than that, but that they were left to die in a glass dish because they were not needed.

So.... You're volunteering to tell the six nieces and nephews that they shouldn't exist?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Every time man invents some new technique or science, we figure out some way to abuse it.

So you're giving up technology as a protest of it's abuse? Or are you trying minimize the abuse and maximize the good results?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

So... you mean the state can step in and force an abortion if they decide you shouldn't have a baby?

[blowfish]

So my little boy shouldn't exist, since we had difficulty conceiving? I hope nobody says that to my face - not if they enjoy the current configuration of their face.
