I don't see a problem with this.
I prefer people doing this than having abortions.
It certainly beats buying and selling embryonic stem cells.
I'm somehow missing the connection you're making. How is an abortion the alternative to buying sperm or eggs?
For that matter I don't see abortion as an alternative to anything and can't understand when it is used as an tool in an argument where we are supposed to choose something we disagree with--in order to prevent more people choosing abortion, as if they could not have chosen to do better in the first place and can't clean up their mess without committing some further wrong.
But in this instance, I'm just trying to understand how it factors in to your objection to the author of the article ranting against the selling of sperm and eggs.

I agree. I love the fact that people are seeking out to have children. They are going to be extremely loved because they are clearly extremely wanted. Plus who is to say that they are not made by God's love. I think that was a piss poor sentence in the story.
This is a non sequitur.
"He embezzled millions from the Savings & Loan."
"I prefer people doing this than drowning puppies."
"She had sex with her 12-year-old student."
"I prefer people doing this than installing defective carbon monoxide detectors."
"They kidnap Ukrainian orphans and sell them into slavery in Germany."
"I prefer people doing this than driving those gas-guzzling SUV's."
1. It's not as if it's an either-or choice. What does choosing a donor out of a catalogue and then raising the kid without a Dad have to do with abortion?
2. What can you tell me about the effect of single motherhood on kids?

But they often do have abortions. 5 or 6 embryos are implanted and if 3 or 4 take one or two are aborted.
