What a beautiful, smiling baby face! (But of course embryos aren’t human, fortunately little Liam escaped the butcher.)
I’m having difficulty sharing in the joy.
I see a Bad Moon on the Rise.
The pill severed the link between procreation and sex. The Evil Patriarchy created the technology, at the behest of women.
Now, in vitro fertilization, and, soon, artificial wombs will sever the link between conception and pregnancy and the traditional process of carrying the fetus in the mother’s womb.
Also, technology created by the Evil Patriarchy at the behest of women.
As I said, I see a Bad Moon on the Rise.
Pandora’s box.
At the same time, the baby is beautiful.
Heinlein’s “Podkayne of Mars” explores some of these issues although, for some reason, Heinlein assumed that babies woudl be carried to term — and then frozen and stored for later retrieval and rearing.
(It’s an interesting book, but not one of Heinlein’s best. It starts out as a light hearted romp, and then ends in tragedy, which didn’t work very well for me.)
The baby is adorable. He is fortunate to be here since he might have been killed, or died, as an embryo.
That said, he has two donor moms, one donor dad, and that will take some explaining on the part of his adoptive single mom, who might have delivered him successfully but is still pushing 50. She’ll be nearly 70 when he’s in college.
But hey, the important thing is that the four adults involved got what they wanted.
Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be done.
Mixed feelings.
My 20 year old grand daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia about a year ago. Just before she started radiation in prep for a bone marrow transplant (from her younger sister), her grandmother funded a harvesting of eggs to preserve for her. They did get a fair number of healthy eggs, so hopefully she can become a mother–naturally–in due time.
So, the technology is has great potential.
On the other hand, the idea of babies on demand for a single parent, who is probably beyond the optimum age to begin rearing a child, is a little troubling.
I expect we will be seeing cloned humans to fit designer demand in due time. If the technology exists there will be a demand to use it.
Should have specified, full body radiation, eggs would not have survived.
Four live embryos frozen. One live baby.
It’s true that under the best circumstances, some embryos do not result in births–maybe one in three. But it seems likely that at least one life was lost needlessly in this.
My Grandfather told me the first child could come “at any time” — but this is absurd.
Hope springs maternal….
What a darling baby boy. I hope the two of them are happy. At least she’s a good provider and very intelligent, and she looks like she’s over the moon about having this kid.
OK, insomniacs: this one’s for you. W.C. Fields’ classic routine about trying to sleep on a porch glider, from his comic masterpiece It’s a Gift.
In real life, Fields was a terrible insomniac — he put a lot of feeling into this one! (And weeks of work.)
Money quote: “I couldn’t wait around anymore for someone to try with.” So she took a hostage. That is the meaning of a woman’s deliberate choice to have a child out of wedlock.
Cute kid. Many Interesting Thanksgiving dinner conversations ahead for this little guy. To think he has come to being in such a unique way kind reminds me that I have been blessed to live in interesting times. And Who knew refrigeration wasn’t just for beer?
Seriously – I wish him and his mom a happy future, and all the best.
It’s all about her needs. The baby does NOT have a father but then, who needs a father? We have the nanny state instead. This woman, in placing her desire to be a mother ahead of her baby’s need for a father has demonstrated her own unfitness to parent.
This is something that is on my mind a lot because it would piss off progressives. I saw it on Dirty Jobs where they transferred a horse embryo from the conceiving horse to the carrying one. I would love to see girls who conceive too early in their life to carry, be able to put the embryo up for adoption or freeze it for later. I don’t know about the economics, a quick search says it costs $300/year to store sperm.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to
make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about,
why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
to your blog when you could be giving us something
enlightening to read?
Some of those consist of decreased risk of diabetes, decreased blood lipids, and all round liver well being.
Next time you need to have a break from water, drink some black decaf coffee.
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently
about. I’m very happy that I came across this during
my search for something regarding this.
