If it's not made in the image of God, it cannot receive salvation. Nowhere in history, ancient or modern, does any religion assert that creation can come from homosexual intercourse of any kind. It's no more entitled to salvation than a dog.

How is such a child not made in the image of God? It is made with human DNA and would be indistinguishable from other children.

Well, I doubt there would be any type of intercourse involved in the creation of this child. Once the sperm fertilized the egg, the resulting zygote would be implanted in a woman. In that regard, it would be no different than IVF.

Once you decide that such a child is not wholly human, the next step is to decide that is does not have the same rights as other humans. That means it can be sold into slavery, used as parts for other humans, killed with impunity etc. etc.

Are you still comfortable with your conclusion?
