Critics cautioned that the child could face major identity issues.

I recall a story many years ago which described how it was possible to harvest unfertilized eggs from an aborted fetus. At the time, ethicists raised the same question.

There are countless children in the world who need a home. This is an example of greed.

“There are countless children in the world who need a home. This is an example of greed.”

I have for a long time viewed the entire spectrum of artificial insemination cases as cases of parents for whom the prospect of “having a child” is all about themselves, not the child. When I listen to their (the parents) own statements of the prospective child I hear the discussion of a possession, not a person.

My own belief is that if the couple was approaching their difficulty in conceiving in the right spirit of parenthood, they would adopt natural-born children who needed a good home; of which there is no shortage in the world.

No it is an example of a clan using modern technology and science to keep their genetic line alive..

The Father will be blood kin to the boy.

Not a thing wrong with that really.
