No circumstance, no purpose, no law whatsoever can ever make licit an act which is intrinsically illicit, since it is contrary to the Law of God which is written in every human heart, knowable by reason itself, and proclaimed by the Church.
Catholic ping!
Eeeew.
Creepy...
The parents wanted children.....I can’t believe that you are supposedly pro-life.
Nope, never have been.

I know that. I just am not upset over this as some on here. I mean they are making it incest which it isn’t. The parents couldn’t have any more children so the daughter incubated the baby for 9 months. I say that is a wonderful gift to give her parents. Maybe I am just too conservative and care about selfless acts.
Not everything that’s natural is good, but when things are grossly unnatural, it’s a pretty good bet they’re not good.
Nonetheless, I wish the best to all of them. Hopefully the legal parents will be able to keep it together this time.
Stop the planet... I want off.
If you believe that life begins at conception (at the moment the egg is fertilized), the joy that two new lives have entered the world, needs to be tempered by the fact that six other lives were snuffed out. IVF has been the cause of the death of over two million children since 1990.
But again, that is only if you believe that life begins at conception, which I do, which makes me agree with Tax-chick's Eeeew.
Though in all fairness, I believe her Eeeew was more from the reality that Ellen was made pregnant using her step-fathers sperm. I think that Eeeew worthy.
Ellen, the birth mother, observes, “I have been through some very stressful situations in my life and I dont tend to get very emotional about things any more. I lost my emotions a long time ago.”
Among other things, this makes one wonder about the parental fitness of Jenny, the genetic and legal mother, although apparently Tony, the genetic and legal father, wasn’t in the picture at the time Ellen lost her emotions.
Yes, it’s EEEEEW on several levels, from the six dead siblings to the gestational incest ... but the two living chidren still deserve the best life possible.

That must be it.
Agreed...
There comes a point when you yield the stage to your kids and take on a supporting role instead.
crazy crazy world we live in
Well I didn’t know that some embryos were killed. I am not for that. What I am for is a set of parents who cannot have children turn to their family and even friends to assist them in having a baby.
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife
And to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grownup daughter, who was of course my step-mother
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become the strangest 'case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa
Be good to your kids. They pick the nursing home.
