That means that he will be about 70 before Ben even graduates from high school (if he lives that long). It's not like he'll be able to wrestle and play very well with his son, never mind the grandchildren! So do you think this was about the child, or about Harris?<BR/><BR/>I think Fitz hit the nail on the head. Children are treated as consumer goods. People think they're getting a baby. But they don't seem to think ahead to the fact that the child will grow up an adult some day. That giving life is about the child, and not just the adult.emissaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570510267113372081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961055470406458728.post-78050478690298376082008-12-31T04:38:00.000-06:002008-12-31T04:38:00.000-06:00Children are becoming a possession to be manipulat...Children are becoming a possession to be manipulated, sold, processed through genetic screening and killed for any reason including their gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961055470406458728.post-41705690486159948672008-12-31T01:03:00.000-06:002008-12-31T01:03:00.000-06:00"His agency, which expects more than 70 babies to ...<I>"His agency, which expects more than 70 babies to be born in 2009, has seen a 50 percent growth in the number of single male clients over the past year."</I><BR/><BR/><I>"At Growing Generations, a Los Angeles, California, agency that facilitates about 100 births a year, the number of single men seeking surrogates has doubled in the past three years, spokeswoman Erica Bowers said."</I><BR/><BR/>What is wrong with these people? This is truly frightening! What are the children doing while "father" is working? Day care? Is that really the best possibly situation for a child? This is the absolute most selfish act I can think of - that someone would knowingly deny a child the benefit of being raised by a committed mother and father and have the audacity to claim a sense of fulfillment for it.<BR/><BR/><I>"Steven Harris, a New York malpractice and personal-injury attorney, says he gave up trying to get married when he realized his primary motive was to start a family.<BR/><BR/>Harris, 54, says he knew he made the right decision after 21-month old Ben was born.<BR/><BR/>'I thought getting married was the only way to go, because I did want a family. But having Ben, I feel complete now,' Harris says."</I><BR/><BR/>Wow, welcome to the 21st Century, folks. Am I the only one who still thinks that starting a family <B>IS</B> the primary motivator for getting married?! And now Harris feels complete for having Ben. Well that's all warm and fuzzy, but I wonder how Ben feels (or will feel) about being denied a mother? But I guess Harris didn't think that was an important enough consideration against sanguinely and artificially creating human life...to feel warm and fuzzy.<BR/><BR/>My goodness this is a twisted world. <B>WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, PEOPLE??!!</B> What of their rights? What of their feelings? What of their loss? As adults we have a duty to protect the innocents - instead we are subjecting them to imbalance and deprivation. What sad Knights we make. Our armor has been dulled...by secularism, no doubt.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489746595325748833noreply@blogger.com
