I'm thoroughly confused by your comment.
Let's start with the conclusion that individuals who cannot have children without this technology are being told by 'nature' not to have children.
In what way is this different from a cancer patient being told by 'nature' that s/he should die? Or an unvaccinated newborn being told by 'nature' that s/he should succumb to horrible illnesses? We could go on and on.
I'm not sure why you draw the line at giving potential parents the opportunity to have a child, something you clearly enjoy yourself.
- paulryanrogers 10y agoNot the OP, though I have been involved in fertility treatments. And I do feel conflicted knowing my family's genetic history will be passed on, both good and bad. Long term a reliance on these things could be a net negative for society as a whole.
- paulddraper 10y agoPeople with cancer should likewise die and not pass on their genes. Also, anything else undesirable: mental illness, homosexuality, Judiasm.
- paulryanrogers 10y agoObviously genetic issues are deeply personal. I'm not advocating denying people fundamental rights.
