Tech mag 'Wired' says it's 'immoral' to want biological children
Post Millennial ^ | 9/1/23 | Sara Hidgeon

Tech news magazine Wired published a story, and made it an editor's pick, on Thursday that claimed it was "immoral" to want children who share one's genetic makeup and claimed that reducing biologism could be a way to "push back against the biological essentialism built into white supremacy."

In the intro, the author rejects the notion that having a biological child creates a hardwired relationship and bond between the parent and child, and that "this prioritization of biological inheritance ('biologism,' as some call it) has recently become unsettled."

Writer Leo Kim said that due to the advancement in modern practices in gestational surrogacy, or what some consider renting a woman's womb, and the ability to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities, the preference for biological children "can feel downright ancient—a vestigial remnant of a different epoch, a fossil no longer animated by the same moral intuitions that gave it gravity in the past."

When looking into the idea of genetic testing the article notes the "horrors of state-sponsored eugenics," but that the ability to genetically screen embryos for disease and determine traits is "minimal in scope." He suggests that " if biology is to be a factor at all, it should only be considered insofar as it prevents harm and suffering."

In one section Kim points to a study by sociologist Dororthy Roberts who says that “sharing genetic traits seems less critical to Black identity than to white identity. The notion of racial purity is foreign to Black folk" and that having biological children is "built into white supremacy."

I have four children and ten grandchildren. Should I put them back?

Whites are only 16% of global population and shrinking.
The world is better due to white people.

I stepped up on the platform, the man gave me the news.

He said “You must be joking son, where did you get those shoes?”

“I hope the staff of WIRED have each adopted 2-3 children to set a good leadership example.”

Nobody should want to subject any child to that cruel and unforgiving kind of child-rearing practice. But of course, you were speaking in sarcasm.

Seems Wired is really talking about intrinsic superiority in certain Caucasian genetic lines.

Bovine Excrement.

The notion of racial purity is foreign to Black folk” and that having biological children is “built into white supremacy.”

There’s black folk who argue if you’re light skinned black, you ain’t black. Or medium skin color you ain’t black enough.

Then there’s the tribalism throughout Africa, predominantly among black people.

Hm. Leo Kim is Asian. How does he leave out Asian people?

And I think it’s absolutely wrong to assert that black people are uninterested in having biological children.

And it’s pure evil how recklessly many people discuss serious issues today, like to them it’s nothing to play God. They’re like Nietzsche’s “Supermen” in narcissism.

Isn’t that the magazine for pimply Doritos eaters gaming all day?

Procreation is not their forte’.

"Un"-Scientific American and National Geographic are likewise un-readable now. The mentality behind the propagation of the misogynistic hoax over the global climate is hard to fathom for anyone with even a couple 60's or 70's middle school science classes. We didn't have computer models. Just hypotheses, physical data, and repeatable experimental results.

But indoctrination also works. Just as Stalin and Goebbels.

I would expect such a magazine to not understand a non-electronic word, “bloodline”.

“bloodline” is neither racist, sadist nor masochist nor any other descriptive word that anyone would throw as a dart.

The whole group of Asiatic peoples understand “bloodline”.
The proud of Africa, the Near and Middle East understand it.
The proud of both The Old World and The New World understand it.

“Bloodlines” are what folks research on ‘Ancestry dot com’.
For some, “Bloodlines” are a curse, and others, an amusement or amazement.
Now, I ask you, dear reader ....
are you familiar with your “bloodline”?

Here's a thought -- no woman would ever procreate with you, s!0p@.

Or is this article a reaction to being ignored by them white womyns in NYC, and being denied into the clubs LOFL!

Typical South Korean inferiority complex who can't cut it in Seoul, manages a work visa to the US (quelle surprise), and is just barely employed as a fringe me-hate-US douchebag.

Listen KIM, find your tiny pair, sign up to FR, and come at me you d-ckless fatty-eyed bitch ... beolil geoya.

What the writers at wired really means is they believe it is immoral for all its white readers to have biological children.

They are fine with black and brown people having children.

In summary...they are racists.
