You can call it whatever you want, but the plain, hard, cold fact is, if you don’t reproduce, your physical existence, in terms of the genes that make you, is over. Unless you have clones, that is.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in making sure one’s genetics is preserved through lineage. To do otherwise is genetic extinction.

If you’re infertile, shouldn’t those genes go extinct?

By the way, I am the mother of 4 children. Each is so different from the other they might just as well have been adopted.

again- natural selection IS scientific- and since for millions of years it has happened naturally with God as the author of life, what gives us in the 21st century, the RIGHT to circumvent that process? Just because we CAN does not mean we SHOULD. a persons genetics is not what makes them a person. Adoption of a child as well as giving birth to a child both make that child YOURS. If a person cannot reproduce naturally, perhaps there is a reason bigger than just their plumbing that they should NOT reproduce, but because we are NOT God, we don’t know what it is. Funny how ever since we have manipulated fertility in this country, it has gone downhill so fast! Maybe due to alot of babies that needed to be born are NOT heredue to abortion,and babies that should have never been “made viable through in vitro” ARE. Time to think.......
