Snowflake Babies

"Taking the life of a human for the hope of treatment for another is wrong," Mason said. "Human embryos are not leftovers and invaluable clusters of cells. Human embryos are human and have value because of this." No, I'm not condoning such opinions here. Its from an article from the wackos at Focus on The Family.

This entire debate over freezer burned blastocysts seems completely absurd to me. In fact there should be no debate at all. After all, what's more noble than giving up one's life for the betterment of humanity. That is if you consider a freezer burned lump of cells sitting in a petri dish for years a "quality life". Everyday we honor nobler soldiers who have given their lives for the cause of Bush Democracy. Why not just say these cells gave their potential lives for the advancement of all society? That seems a pretty noble cause to me.

I can see it now. Twenty or thirty years in the future, Right Wing Christian (RWC for short) groups will be lining up outside cancer treatment facilities chastising patients cured of cancer. They'll chant,"10,000 babies gave their lives so that you could live one more day." What a bad nightmare!

Bush et al. twist and mangle the facts (actually, just make up untruths) to pass their shameful agenda. They parade "snowflake" babies in front of the cameras, kiss them and claim that this child would not be alive today if it hadn't been for some unintelligible Bush agenda. They use the innocent children. But the RWC has been known to "use" innocent people to push their own agenda in the past. By the way, what ever happened to their grandstanding beside Teri Schiavo's hospital bed?

Why not use these flecks of human material to solve larger puzzles? Why not do something useful with them? Yes, useful. After a certain time in the freezer the cells are tossed out, in the trash, to the landfill (sorta). They don't even get the honor of a funeral!

Where are these RWC groups going to find 300,000+ willing wombs to carry these children to full term? That's where my idea comes in. Why not allow gay couples to adopt the embryos? If its two women, perfect!...one can carry the baby in her womb. If its two men then use the services of a surrogacy firm to find a willing mother. There are plenty of eager gay couples to have their own child. What a perfect match! How ironic! The gays help the RWC and the RWC help the gays.
