Reality Show to Feature 1000 Men Competing to Impregnate Woman without Sex
LONDON, July 23, 2004 (LifeSitenews.com) - A proposed television reality show has pushed the boundaries of offence by offering a program in which a thousand men compete for the chance to impregnate a woman by IVF. It is unlikely that the production company, Brighter Pictures, will find a market in the UK; a spokesman for the BBC has already said, "It is absolutely not for the BBC." In its coverage of the intended program, called Make Me A Mum, The Daily Mail has called the idea "sick" and "depraved." The idea has been greeted with public expressions of revulsion from different quarters. At least one British Tory MP has condemned it as "unacceptable."
Josephine Quintavalle, of Comment on Reproductive Ethics, (CORE), said, "I am disgusted. I have never heard of anything that has descended down the scale of bad taste quite like this. CORE is a public interest group focusing on ethical dilemmas surrounding human reproduction, particularly the new technologies of assisted conception. Quintavalle said, "My first thoughts go to the child who will be created - what is he or she going to be told about how they were conceived? And how can any woman want to have a child in this way?"
The program will start with 1000 volunteers who will be selected by the woman on the basis of sex appeal, wealth, fitness and personality. The woman, who is not named, will take fertility drugs to stimulate the production of ova. One will be selected and fertilized by the winning man's sperm by IVF clinicians live on television. The likelihood is that the idea will not pan out for practical reasons. The best IVF clinics in the world can boast, at most, a 15-25% success rate. The producers have approached German television broadcasters who they thing will be more receptive to the idea.
Natalie Hudson, executive Director of Toronto Right to Life commented, "The culture's adolescent fascination with sex has taken a step so low that even the apathetic media is reacting. The Roman Catholic Church warned some thirty years ago that in vitro procedures would turn the human person into a commodity. But even the Church never imagined that the conception of new life would be treated as a media spectacle. What's next, or dare we ask?"
If they make these changes, it will represent all of the "family values" that the left holds dear -- there will be no way that a leftist politician will dare to criticize it.
No, that's scheduled for Boston this week.
Civilization has become a four letter word. So much has been accomplished with so little to show for it.
ROFLOL
You owe me a new keyboard
That would only work on women who open doors in a very unusual way.
I knew a woman who could open a pop-top beer with her....
..........nope. I'm just not gonna do it. You got me close to doing it, but I just ain't.
Pope Paul VI was right.
What a topsy turvy world. Any normal man would be trying to have sex without impregnating the woman. This is all down-side, and no up-side.
Just damn.

hehe! :^)

Just my opinion but . . . I think civilization has collapsed.
We don't realize it, at least not fully.
Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.
I suspect this is the real reason why many divorces are initiated by women today.
I read about this earlier. Just when you thought reality shows couldn't go lower.
Sadly, you're right on target.
Somebody who is not photoshop-challenged here should stick Clinton's picture in that one posted earlier with all the guys in the crowd.
Once again, the elites give a pass to women who act like whores and crucify the men who only treat them in response to the way they act.
