but anyway, i see it the same as a woman who happens to be a lesbian adopting a child...i dont think theres anything wrong with that. so whats the difference if she is the birthmother and has a partner?
My god, i find i agree with Diesel on something......will wonders never cease?
as far as the whole nature thing goes, well homosexuality exists in nature, and homosexual parents exist as well. The most obvious example i remember is where some female albatross "pair off" wih each other [even with lots of males around] , and like the straight coup[les do so for life. the family bit comes when they find amale, get fertilised and then go off with their partner again.....with AID in humans you just don't have the sex part really!
basically, just because the majority do something doesn't immediately make something else "wrong", it is up to what society considers about personal freedoms and their limits, and the right to choose how to bring up your child [[apart from extreme examples] is pretty fundamental.
however i would still argue that people should really adopt first, rather than use AID/IVF; sexuality isn't an issue with me there.
Bulldog: and really, do any parents "teach" kids about dating - that's what [secondary|high] school is for!! [no, i don't mean formal lessons, i mean the whole experimentation side of things, finding boudaries, that sort of thing]
right, to sort of end up on topic as it were, is it the whole sperm-through-post [make sure the envelope is water proof eh?
we'll became like a machine........
That was just an example. Its the whole sum of their experience that im talking about. Its simply common sense that says a man will have a different set of life experiences than a woman therefore a man and a woman add up to a wider range of experiences that can be passed down to the kid.
who can say that those experiences will be relevant though? if you aremaking tht decision just based on gender then perhaps there are shortcomings there
ah wel, back to the grindstone...
Thats correct. But two women are more likely to have had similar experiences than a man and a woman.
Who can say that they wont?
