There maybe cloning techniques that make this possible in the future. We need to be ready to deal with those who will argue in favor of invoking the technique. But this also illustrates our common ground: the state has no business playing God, using its power to redefine what it means to be human.
We'd best be very careful where this is all going. We might engineer ourselves out of existence.
I think I could argue that a clone is not reproduction but that it is replication.
My sense is that it will result in grotesque misfits mentally incapable and reminiscent of the Island of Dr Moreau....if they can exist at all.
I also understand that, even then, there'll be the need of a womb....
But, even if we can go from test tube to incubation system have you somehow mixed the DNA of both men to produce a new combination of the two, or have you taken a cell and caused it to replicate?
But you're right about the weakness of the argument. What if two men could reproduce?
No, Gay marriage should be illegal not because men can't reproduce, but because homosexual acts are an "intrinsic moral evil."
