Can you cut this, please?

It was cut. But one single / in an appropriate place voided the code. *headdesk*

She declined to say what happened to the rest of the embryos.

They lived happily ever after?

It also says what the mother and father's backgrounds are, and what faith or religious beliefs they have. “They fit what we look like and our Christian beliefs, and they wanted a closed adoption.”

People are allowed to be Christian, you know.

Your DNA doesn't have anything to do with your religion.

they view it as "their" baby that they're giving up for adoption. people who give up the actual-babies often have preferences about college education, religion, income etc. it's still just your dna you're giving away but it matters to some.

In before 10,000 "pro-choice" people saying "But why don't they just adopt?!"

Infertility treatment choices are also reproductive choices and deserve the same respect.

No they don't. Adoption is morally superior.

I rather have people adopt children who are already alive and and out of the womb before they even consider getting a test tube baby.

Don't you know that there's no selfish aspect at all in wanting your kids to have your genes?

I mean, 'cause... there are so many other logical reasons....

Um.

astragali September 19 2009, 17:20:33 UTC

Have you ever tried to adopt a child? Do you have any idea how difficult or expensive it is? Do you know all the things that disqualify you?

You don't get to tell people what to do with their own bodies, full stop.

Was cut. But / was in the code and it voided it. Fixed now.
