Paging Doctor Frankenstein...(creating "unnatural life" an imminent possibility!)
THE RANT.US ^ | JULY 4, 2005 | ALAN BURKHART

Posted on 07/02/2005 5:36:50 PM PDT by CHARLITE

At the recent European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Copenhagen, scientists from Britain's University of Sheffield announced that human eggs and sperm can be created from embryonic stem cells. The implications are obvious.

In the near future, scientists may be able to create new embryos expressly for the purpose of destroying them for their stem cells.

In the long term, with research into adult stem cells now bearing fruit it will become possible to create unnatural children from the sperm and an engineered egg of two homosexual males, or even for a single parent to have a child from his or her own engineered genetic material.

In our supposedly enlightened and morally relativistic world it is taboo to point out evil. People have lost sight of the necessity to consider the moral properties of an issue. All the while science plows ahead, building the technology to create a race of counterfeit humanity.

Much progress has been made in recent years in the area of adult stem cells and the stem cells from the blood of the umbilical cord. This is a positive development in that no embryos have to die to harvest the cells, and stem cell research is showing promise as a way to treat heretofore incurable ailments. But the very idea of allowing science to create unnatural life, especially with the sole intent of destroying that life, should worry all of us. Put simply, life was meant to come from the joining of a man and woman. No other origin is acceptable in the eyes of God.

I don’t have a problem with an infertile heterosexual couple using the advances of science to have a child. But do we dare facilitate a pseudo-natural method for two males or two females to bear offspring? Man is breaking the laws of nature and there will be consequences to pay.

Consider the plight of a child created from the stem cells of two men. The emotional problems, the abuse from other children at school, the lack of a mother… will this child grow up to be a healthy and well-adjusted adult? Scientists are not giving this sort of issue any consideration because they’re obsessed with the notion of granting themselves the power of Creation.

This can become a self-perpetuating problem. A child who grows up in a household with “two dads” or “two moms” will doubtlessly be influenced by the thinking of his or her parents and could quite possibly end up pursuing a similar course in life. Ask yourself: Is this a positive thing?

There are also legal implications. At this point a homosexual male couple would still require the services of a surrogate mother to carry the artificially created child, and the two guys would have to pursue legal adoption even if the surrogate had agreed beforehand to give them the baby. Thus there is no guarantee that the so-called couple would have custody of their baby even after going to the trouble of having it created for them. The child could end up in an orphanage or with foster parents equally as undesirable as the two deviants who committed this freakish act.

At the root of all this lies the desire of the abnormal among us to both function and be accepted as normal. Why, homosexuals ask, should they not be able to bear children? The answer is obvious to those of us who still have an anchor in reality, but what happens when someone dares tell these folks that it’s wrong for homosexuals to violate the laws of nature? Nowadays you can be sued for slander, or even go to jail for committing a hate crime.

We are approaching a point in our society in which virtually anything will be possible in the biological sense. What will the future bring? Might a man be able to undergo gene therapy and breastfeed a newborn (now there’s a disturbing mental image)? Will the word “natural” become passé?

The Left can bluster and blather about “separation of church and state” until it’s blue in the face, but the simple fact is that without Godly morals to guide us we invariably go astray. Sensible people must stand up and bring this insanity to stop before we lose what little is left of our humanity. Science must be held accountable to a practical moral code, and homosexuals need to wake up to the fact that they are outside of the normal course of nature.

Creating a child is supposed to be a sacred act. It is the ultimate act of love between a man and woman to create a new life from within them. Thanks to science, the various homosexual lobbies, and the current “anything goes” attitude in American society and abroad, creating a life is being reduced to mixing the ingredients in a Petri dish. All in the name of science and tolerance.

"I don’t have a problem with an infertile heterosexual couple using the advances of science to have a child."

I do. There are plenty of adoptable children and it is the frankensteinian experiments that gave us test tube babies and in-vitro fertilization that will ultimately lead to offspring of homosexual couples and worse.

If selfish/short-sighted people who have to pass on their genes, rather than their ideals and values, weren't providing so much money to these latter day Dr. Mengele's then stem cell research would be about curing diseases rather than breeding brave new humans.

I showed that same pic in a powerpoint presentation to my coworkers because they were so stuck doing the same things without thinking.

I'm also crazy enough to half-believe it is true...
