Happy Pride Month, everyone.....

If someone can't reproduce naturally, it is a selfish act to reproduce. It's akin to a child stomping their feet and saying "I DESERVE IT!!!"
There are far too many people in the world as well as far too many unwanted children.
I can understand the desire- it's just like how I like to buy a puppy from a breeder rather than rescue a dog. However, nature is trying to stop something by preventing reproduction in two people if it can't be done via natural means
No, behind the Chuckles house where the well is. The house you’re is the professor’s shack.
You have anything going on for gay pride month?
I don’t see the difference between this and heart surgery
i want to live!
give me a new heart!
nope. nature says your time is up, so stop stamping your feet you spoiled brat
same for any life saving surgery
i believe you’ve lost your mind
I don't think it's a sin against nature. There's very little humans do that is "natural." Driving a car isn't natural. Making wine isn't natural. Vaccines and open-heart surgery aren't natural. I do think it's rather selfish when there are kids who need adoption. But adopting can be cost-prohibitive, too.
It's natural to want to reproduce, and IVF (and surrogates) are other ways to do that. I just think a lot of these kids are gonna be fucked up when they learn the truth. I know a couple who spent six figures on this stuff (IVF + surrogate) and they are not planning on telling the kids. They will figure it out when they see that there are no photos of mommy pregnant. This is a bad case scenario, but it isn't isolated.
Howard Devoto sums it up nicely, here:
Plus it’s not like it’s so uncommon
So many peach tree kids being born
Surrogacy may be rarer but not super weird

how do you feel about asshole transplants ?
modern medicine has made some amazing breakthroughs recently !
Why are you stamping your feet about something that doesn’t affect you in any shape or form?
you call them selfish and then stamp your feet over other people doing things differently with no effect on you is a special kind of irony.
I’m not sure it’s then being selfish.
Most level headed response, from the most level headed erBBer.
If I was ifailalot, I would be worried.
Why do you care?
This isn’t stamping feet either, it’s perfectly reasonable but somehow people are offended by it
How is it not selfishness?
Surrogacy isn’t common but it’s definitely weird
I don’t think it’s mentally healthy for the woman who carries the baby either. It can be just as devastating as giving up a child for adoption
I asked you a question first. And I’m not convinced you know what a selfish act is.
who is it selfish toward? What makes you think it’s “perfectly reasonable”?
His mind seems to be slipping.
Wait until he finds out that nearly all dairy products are a direct result of artificial insemination.
