You know, the Left calls conservatives “anti-science” but it is really they who ignore/deny science.

If you read the whole times article, which is excruciating, (but it is well written, I gotta admit it) it has a lot of details about these procedures.

There’s a good deal to be questioned about them, just from a scientific point of view, leaving all morality aside.

(I’m no scientist, but I did very well on the NYC Biology Regents exam - I never tire of boasting about that grade - LOL)

Using donated eggs, donated sperm, you can have a baby via natural childbirth - but you’re not genetically related to the child at all, maybe neither parent is. That’s certainly the case with the lesbian couple discussed in the article.

I don’t know what the long term implications of these things may be, but it’s true that say, the little boy the lesbians had could grow up and marry his half-sister via either the egg donor or the sperm donor.

Now, this is probably unlikely to happen, but there are no safeguards against it, not that I’m aware of. The US is a very populous country, but what if you are having this done in Wyoming or someplace like that? Do they import eggs and sperm from NY or California? I don’t know.

And what concerns me is The Scientists don’t seem to care.

Look, they know the truth, they know a fetus is a unique person from the moment of conception; they understand that some of these children are not related by blood to their parents in any way (what’s the difference from adopting, really?); they know that women bond with their unborn children; they know that people who have had “sex change” operations are still genetically male or female.

But they let the public remain in kind of a fantasy land or denial about the truth of things.

My mother used to say a lot of doctors were really mad scientists, I thought that was pretty hysterical of her. But more and more it seems she is being proven right.

Many people seem to think this is wonderful that we can do all these things, but really it is just clumsy tinkering with God’s handiwork.

It never turns out well in the Sci Fi stories, that’s all I know!
