Yea, that goes too far.
Using surrogates and stuff is fine but this goes outside the pale.

Not surprising at all. Just another step down the road toward cutting women out of the child birth experience altogether. But I do question whether or not man knows with the hell its doing.

Exactly
You can't vote away natural rules and when you go around them bad things happen.

in no way is this surprising......genetic engineering.....it's only a matter of when....
personal opinion is irrelevant...while the battles between science and religious will easily continue, it's going to happen.....can't stop it...
I'm just glad I won't be around to watch the next round of evolution.....

Not gonna lie... don't see the problem in it. The science behind it is pretty cool.

Seems incredibly self-centered and selfish. It's not good enough to use a donated egg fertilized by sperm from both male parents... or donated sperm and eggs from both female parents...
or heaven forbid, adopting a child...
Instead, let's not be satisfied until the child can have 'his' lips and ears and height and talent for music with 'my' eyes and skin tone and muscularity and talent for math.
and if it doesn't work, we can sue the doctors and make them pay us millions for this child that we didn't want, OR we'll just return it and get our money back like at Best Buy...
I mean seriously, where do we stop?

I predict that the unintended consequences of this is will rear its ugly head eventually. You are messing around very deeply with nature.

RE: Babies By Any Means
Two guys were NEVER intended to create children together.
Two women were NEVER intended to create children together.
Fertility assistance to help Mother Nature create an otherwise normal pregnancy is one thing.
Frankensteinning sperm from two guys and or eggs from to women to create something that could never possibly happen in nature even with fertility assistance should be condemned.
What are we coming to?

We opened up Pandora's box in regard to fertility assistance and surrogate mothers. This is the natural evolution of that science. Someone is always looking to push the envelope. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Be careful what you wish for folks.

I said every child deserves a mother and father. I didn't guarantee that would happen.
