Your explanation might make sense in a perfect world... but we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a fallen one. Where disease and illness can strike anyone. And so when an infertile husband and wife turn to modern science to give them the child they desire, who are you to tell them that God says they shouldn’t have a child? I believe that God decides, not us.

God has already designed us for procreation: husband and wife sare designed to have a one-flesh union, and thus increase and multiply. It's not just written in Scripture, it's written in your own flesh: the design that the Designer gave us.

Infertility means you've got some sort of disease or injury or malformity that makes you unable to have childen through normal intercourse, and it should be addressed by the medical profession with the ethical goal of curing the disease, healing the injury, repairing whatever is getting in the way of naural fertile sex.

Surrogacy does not cure infertility: Mr. and Mrs. Romney are still apparently inable to have children through normal intercourse.The morally upright thing to do, is to seek medical help to cure their infertility. There are effective drugs, devices, and surgery which can often address that problem, and restore their healthy sexual function.

Nobody's against actual CURATIVE medical inervention.

What's wrong is going outside your marriage to impregnate another woman.

"I believe that God decides, not us." That's exactly my point. I don' see where God is OKing the begetting of children with someone other than your wife. Yes, children are begotten outside of marriage all the time. HALF of the children (all races) in the United States who are born to women under 30, are born out of wedlock. It's common. It's the "new norm." That doesn't make it right.

LOL, I suppose it's entirely possible that God DID tell the "infertile" couple that they shouldn't have a child.

It seems more that people like you are the ones saying they should.
