And these are the people who are against 'designer' babies...
As for this measure, well its not that far from the blood donating rules is it. Both of which play on sterotyping which really dont mean anything.
Risk assessment, innit?
It isn't homosexuality that is banned, it is men who have had sex with men. It's the same reason why prostitutes and injected drug users are banned; there is a greater risk. If it was about homosexuality in blood then women who have had sex with a man who's had gay sex wouldn't be banned either, and nor would those who have been sexually active in Africa. And nor, for that matter, would thsoe who have received blood donations since 1982.
As I've said before about the blood thing- if you don't believe that blood services should be minimising risk, then go and talk to the parents of a five-year-old girl who died of AIDS because of contaminated blood.
Oh, but of course:
That is equally irrational, but there is a RISK so the FDA are banning thsoe from donating either.
People always try and see bigotry where there is none. Risk assessment is important; like it or not, gays having sex are more at risk of contracting HIV because the anus is more likely to tear, meaning the bloodstream itself can easily become infected.
If experts tell us there is a completely safe test for HIV in sperm, then there is no reason whatseover to ban gay men from donating.
Other than bigotry and prejudice, that is.
It strikes me that this is ironic coming from the homophobic branch of the Christian Right who don't believe homosexuality is genetic!
I never believe in any kind of research that tries to prove that there are some lower/higher castes among us. My congrats! Boy you are a man!
BTW I’m FOR designed babies.
You are free to understand this as you wish…
A tip- there is no thing as “our children”...
There are your and my (future) kids, right?
I agree... I'm against cloning and making designer babies. You should love what ya got and not ask for anymore. Society is so greedy these days (of course some kids are born disabled... but chosing the facial features ect).
Sadly the pro-lifers and many Christian denominations take a different view... :rolleyes:
no matter how distressing it is (i lost my grandad to cancer and heart disease) this is just a humans selfish desire to live longer instead of giving way to new generations
personally i dont want to be wearing a nappy at the age of 90, ill quite happily be topping myself before i get to that point because well we're just being selfish with things we didnt have before and wow we're still here after 300,000 years
edited to say: and back to main topic i find it really twisted and narrow minded to assume that there something wrong with a gay persons sperm, then again though an INDIVIDUAL (not the government) has the right to decide whose sperm they accepting
And Jesus sayeth unto Paul: Don't worry Paul the Baptist, queernes does not passeth through the wine or milk (you knoweth what I meaneth)
Is this what you meant Lukesh? Or does it say that homosexuality is not genetic somewhere else in the Bible or the Korán?
I suggest you read the Book of Proverbs if you think the Bible is to be taken literally.
I remember reading that I'm allowed to kill stupid people... :chin:
Not all Muslims are homophobic, just as not all Christians are homophobic.
We also must kill children that curse their father, and poke out our right eye if it sinns (sp?). :rolleyes:
But I’m bloody sure we never should give any right to make decisions about this to politicians.
So why did you write this
"it goes for all Muslims too, they are also homophobic."?
