"What ever happened to adopting if infertile and raising that child as your own?"

No matter how cruel it sounds, adoption is not going to prevent the ending of two individuals' genetic lineage, as a relevant biological entity.

There is absolutely nothing selfish in wanting to see one's genes preserved. In fact, it is the primary rule of life on this planet.

"We feel we are entitled to have “our own” child... ...symptom of our own selfishness."

Welcome to the rules of life.

There is absolutely nothing selfish in wanting to see one's genes preserved.

At what price? This may be a normal and natural desire, but it still requires God's cooperation. To do otherwise is manipulative and destructive of life.

Note that I am replying specifically to your post #14, n00b. Read the headline. Read the article. This thread is about the stance of the Vatican, of the Catholic Church. Everything about your post screams vanity, pride. None of what you posted holds up within the framework of Catholicism.

You're showing yourself up to be nothing but an anti-Catholic disruptor.
