Anyone who fancies themselves a “bioethicist” is a clear and present danger to humanity.

Yeah, like we’re not even mammals anymore. We, as a species, and the world have not really changed all that much. Liberals think they can take credit for an evolution of our species in their own lifetimes. What a joke! Liberals can make the world appear to look like something they imagine it should look like but they don’t actually change anything. They really do believe in magic.

Maybe we could focus on internal carry and pre-natal nourishment via umbilical cord?

I guess that would either be sexist or gender appropriative. (Hey, I just made up a new PC phrase!)

I think we’ll need to commission extensive studies.

Guess what, gender (or more properly, sex roles) are natural. Live in reality!

Somehow a scene from RAISING ARIZONA came to mind.

Natural and normal are new trigger words, because they remind the unnatural and abnormal of what they are not.

Anyone knows that any program like this would eradicate farm and wild deer population.

This is sheer suicidal nonsense.

Imagination is fine, but there are limits, criminal insane limits. These people advocating this are terrorists and a national security threat, abusers of the worst kind. Just when you thought IsIs was ghoulish...

“My god now we’re no longer mammals”

Excellent point! Perhaps the originator of the unethical reference to breastfeeding feeding chose not to identify as such...

It is getting weirder every day.

Was this quasi study, if a study at all, done by men hating Lesbian MDs?

I used to laugh at the Life of Brian “Call me Loretta” scene. Now I cry.

Interesting.

Evolutionists claim that increasing complexity was an accident.

Liberals, with ‘intellegent’ planning, are reversing that complexity.

And it did not take billions and billions of years.

To paraphrase Malcolm Muggeridge, we have educated ourselves to imbecility.
