Do you agree if we can choose the sex of our children "artificially"??Why??

No, I don't agree with it. If a person is going to care more for the sex of their baby, than the actual baby, then they don't deserve to have children.

I think children should have the right to choose. I am biracial as well and I used to get very upset about having to choose, because I felt like no matter which box I checked, I would be ignoring one half of me! I always vowed that when I grew older, I would do something that would grant me the power to change these things. Even though I may be kinda off that track now, I do greatly appreciate the "check all that apply" boxes. \n\nIn general however, when it says to only check one box, I do check black or African American. Why? Because I feel like that side of me is historically known to be more accepting - "black" is so diverse. If you check a box that says white but you don't look it, someone is bound to say something hurtful. That's just how I see it. Just to make the point, I LOVE BOTH SIDES!!

its a parental choice

does it really matter? if we assign gender to any deity, it's really missing the point, isn't it?

There was once a star trek episode that explained specific points that dictate whether something is an organism or not and one was that you had to be able to reproduce.  Man and women can, in general, reproduce but woman and woman and man and man cannot?  Together it is impossible for them to reproduce (with the exeptions of hermaphrodites whose case is arguable)  I believe in God and he made man and woman to be together. It was such an ingenious plan that we are perfect puzzle pieces foreach other, but like the humans we are (carnal and unable to easily overcome our inadaquacies) choose to go the direct opposite of what God intended.  I'm sorry to the homosexual population if you are offended. I honestly am.  I do not hate you but I do not have to agree with you.  I have many friends that i love but do not agree with and some of those are homosexual.  Its just that if you did not understand your sexuality in the first place then why do you think you are for sure homosexual?  I do not believe it is a natural affection but purely choice (which thank God we have) Choice.  You choose your feelings but I do not condemn you for that.  I dont condemn you at all but I condemn homosexuality.  Its not natural but you can do what you wish.  I just think that if you cannot naturally have children as a couple, let others who lost the opportunity but do have it naturally as a man and women, adopt.  Do you understand? I think I'm just being confusing. sorry.

Good point Pazion. But I still say in millions of years we still have seen no physical evidence that this is genetic. There have been no new emergence of a new gender. We are still born male and female. Again, in the next million years we may find that we were wrong in our assumptions. But we will be dead and therefore we still will not care. So it's a lost point even discussing it.

I think you have put to much thought into this. They are not exactly evil, although you are right about one thing. It is wrong. I think only men and women should do that kind of stuff. If they adopt kids, then their kids have a chance of being gay also. If they refuse to be with the opposite gender, then, they should not pass it on. Before you know it, we might all be gay if they do decide to adopt kids. They should at least let their kids know that what they do is wrong.

My religious viewpoint is agnostic.\n\nI don't see any human reproductive technology as being evil, though it can certainly be abused.\n\nThe most important issue to me that the children that result from the technology must be viewed AS REAL CHILDREN and raised by a real family as a real member of that family.\n\nGiven that - all is well.

We do... It is our choice what we do with our zygotes...

I support it completely. The idea that a child needs both a mother and a father is outdated (in my opinion) and seems to me to be stictly for social roles. We like to use the mother and father to show children how they should act, but in this day and age gender roles are being blurred and nearly erased (about time). I think that two men are extremely capible of raising a child on their own and probably would do it better (or at least as well) as a heterosexual couple. And the mere thought that just because they are gay that they will 'fool around' with their kids is completely ludicrous. By that logic, a heterosexual father would molest his daughter and a heterosexual mother her son. The people who want to adopt have to go through the same strict standards that heterosexual couples go through (if not more strict) so they are actually putting effort into trying to raise a child- so they are not taking it lightly and wouldnt do anything to have the child taken away. NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THEY HAVE TO INVEST JUST TO HAVE A SHOT OF HAVING A KID. \nSure, some might not think it through all the way, but the same goes with heterosexual couples. Jesus Christ...

I do provide and improve alternatives. I'm a social worker that helps pregnant women for this reason.\n\nBut is killing a baby acceptable because of all your reasons? Expensive adoption? The birthmother doesn't pay, and there's a 10 million couple wait for an expensive adoption.\n\nFoster system? No need. Infants are easily adoptable, and apparantly these couples on the waiting list can endure the expenses. \n\nRegardless if your  examples were real or not, none of your reasons justify killing innocent unborn people.  \n\nPeriod.

I've been wondering that too. If it was legal, I would do a controlled experiment with newborns, and having them grow up in a totally isolated home, away from the world and outside influences (including people)and and see if they feel the need for a higher being in their life, like if they naturally feel the presence of a God. Also to see if the child is naturally good or evil would be interesting (of course this depends on your definition of good and evil). Sure the fact that no human would ever have contact with them, ever, would really screw the kid up, but whatever.

Without an actual poll being conducted, there's no way to say what percentage of people were born gay as opposed to .... choosing? it.  Just to put your statistic in perspective.\n\nThey've been taken out of the gene pool....wrong.  If by that you mean that they can't have kids, that's not true.\n\nThey don't have the desire to procreate...wrong.  I don't have that desire, in fact I find it abhorrent.  But I'm not gay.\n\nWho cares if it's abhorrent to us?  And of course they CHOOSE to do it, just the same as we choose to do what we do sexually.

Most hermaphrodites are "given" one sex or the other shortly after birth.  The parents are asked to choose the sex or if one set of organs is more prominent than the other, that is the sex that is chosen.  In this day and age, very few hermaphrodites make it to adulthood without a specific sexual identity.  So, the question becomes moot.

I don’t agree it’s a “woman’s choice”. First because a man is involved as well, second because a new human is involved, third because a doctor is forced to do the operation which is perhaps against his/her ethics.\nAs for snakeman’s idea, the problem is that quite a few people are viable before their teens. Kids in the womb have reaction to outside effects at quite an early time.\nAmhark is right, however, that it may lead to underground activites, as it was in previous centuries. I guess more and far better youth institutes are needed without encouraging mothers to leave their babies there.\nI’m against abortion, except for special cases, like when a woman is raped or when the baby would risk her health. If you don’t want a baby, use protection.

I say NO...its not meant to be this way. In general two men cannot  a conceive a child, nor two women cannot. So therefore theres a reason why same sex shouldn't be. The answer is obvious! Sorry but thats how it goes.

Avotar options that look like me are not available.  I tried to get as close as i can, but many things are still incorrect.  Of course some folks could be masquerading.  it might be a fun way to try out being a different race or gender.  Hard to do in real life.  Easy to do in avatar.
