Actually, what we are witnessing is nature occurring at highly technical level.
In nature, the female always looks to mate with the best possible male to insure healthy successful offspring. Society places restrictions on this instinctive search through institutions like religion and marriage. Fertilization allows the female to bypass societal norms and support their primeval instincts to improve the herd.
Yeah, right.....I've got one of those "genetic reductionisms" for a niece......believe me.....it's NOT an improvement.....even though her "mother" got to go shopping through a book to pick the hair color, eye color, race, etc. of the sperm donor.....she couldn't pick the Intelligence Level, however.....or the strength of the breeding "stock." I wouldn't call it a "triumph."
"I wouldn't call it an "improvement." is what I meant to say in the last sentence....
Your definition of "best possible" is brutally materialistic, and therefore, false as it applied to humans. The "best possible" mate for a woman is not the 6'4" Perfect Specimen with the Harvard Law degree--especially when said man is bringing no love to a marriage and creating a desolate spiritual wasteland for a wife to live in and a kid to grow up in. The best possible mate is one who is able *and willing* to pour out love on behalf of his wife and child, so that the home becomes a veritable garden under which all parties can bloom and flourish. *That* is healthy and successful as it pertains to the human being.
We got plenty of physically fit, smart kids out there who are thugs and gangsters precisely because every attention was given to their physical development and none to their spiritual. For the overall health of society, I'll take the decent, God-fearing, morally upright kid with a dozen disabilities and impaired intelligence over them anyday.
As for alleged "restrictions" imposed by Church and marriage, I will remind you that in the Church, we have something called courtship and the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony, complete with evaluations and interrogations of the couple being married to make certain they are emotionally and psychologically ready for what they are doing--and it is *precisely* to ensure that both parties are aware of what they are doing and choosing the best possible mate for themselves.
It is the secularists who fling themselves into marriage without any heed to what they are doing to themselves and their potential children--who marry degenerates and drug addicts.
