"Well, isn't that special."

A lesbian couple from the UK recently became the first parents to carry a baby in both of their wombs during a first of its kind procedure that doctors are characterizing as a breakthrough in "shared motherhood."
The procedure, offered by London Women's Clinic, involves one parent harvesting the egg, which is fertilized by donor sperm, and the other parent carrying the fetus in her womb.
Jasmine Francis-Smith gave birth to their son, Otis, two months ago using an egg that was incubated for 18 hours by her wife, Donna, before being transferred to Jasmine's womb for the remainder of the pregnancy.
The process means that Donna is the biological mother and Jasmine is the gestational mother.
The Telegraph notes that while more than 100 babies have been born to lesbian couples using artificial incubation, this marks the first time that both parents have shared in the process.
Lance Corporal Donna Francis-Smith, 30, told The Telegraph, "We're overwhelmed to be honest, it's blown up massively."
"It's definitely brought us closer together emotionally," she added. "We're a close couple anyway but we both have a special bond with Otis as well which was helped by the way we've done it."
The couple is saying that the procedure made them feel "equal in the process."
"We're just happy that it's worked so well and the information is out there," Jasmine added. "It will help people in the future — it brings you closer together rather than feeling one has a bond more than the other."

Eric, I agree. My first reaction after reading it was: Sick! And I wonder if they are also pro-abortion, for others, of course.
Well yeah, a trans female lesbian.
Easy peasy....
This is so disgusting.
Jesus needs to come back really, really soon.
I WANT Him to.
Exactly. Well said.

...incubated for 18 hours by her wife...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A woman cannot have a wife, idiot.
This is one of those cases....because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Selfish
Prenatal child abuse.
Kinda like a double yolk egg isn’t it?
Yet another screwed up kid growing up to spend years on this earth totally screwed up living a miserable existence
All British citizens are paying for that, correct?
Yeah, sorry, let me know when they can do this without the sperm donor. Then I might be impressed. /S
The problem with depravity and perversion is that what is shocking a decade ago, becomes accepted today and in order to be “unique” the depraved will push for something even more shocking.
It is the lesbians' fully premeditated intent that the child shall forever be deprived of his father. That is unethical as well.
It is recognized as a tragedy if a child is deprived of his father by chance. He should never be deprived by choice.
The only thing unique about this is that it is two women who know each other. The practice of one woman being an egg donor for an otherwise infertile woman is a common infertility treatment called IVF.

"Well, isn't that special."
Of course they're both utterly amoral so they'd say what ILLary once said when questioned about preventable harm to another: "what difference,at this point,does it make?"
