I do see the two separate issues. The benefits of reproductive endocrinology to help good people become loving parents. And the change in society that has permitted singles and gays to raise kids.
For the former, yes, there are problems, like left over embryos. I’ve stepped up and taken some of them and plenty of others can too. Most left over embryos are not capable of becoming children but they still deserve testing or a chance.
For the latter, with everyone having rights these days, who is to say who might or might not be suitable parents? There are a lot of heterosexual parents who are abusive. There are gay parents who are quite loving and decent. I am ok with freedom in raising kids. The world is no longer going to be traditional marriage Uber Alles, and I’m used to it now. I despise abuse of children and will always discuss and fight it. But some of the worst child molesters are “religious” and married to the opposite sex.
Yes, those are the issues I see. My take on the first is similar to yours.
I am not in agreement on the gay parentage. I think the child’s rights are paramount. Despite all the love and caring a gay family could provide, children need a father & a mother as role models. Many children don’t get them but that is an accident of fate and admittedly makes it much harder for them to succeed in life. To deliberately create a child who will have such burdens growing up is callous no matter how well meaning.
This is a topic where people hold strong beliefs and courteous discussion is not the norm. Thank you for the opportunity.
