It's just my Apinion, but I believe we need to look into the current medical practices as well as over all societal belief of in vitro/asexual reproduction.
As with all great discoveries, there is a need for extreme responsibility. Atomic power, Rocketry, unmanned flying machines, cars that can drive themselves, all started with someone who wanted to make a profound impact in our world. At the same time there is someone looking over their shoulder, most likely with the checkbook, who has a much more personal interest in these technologies. May it be good or bad, i can not say in each case. As we know, there are no checks and balances when it comes to someone else spending their own dime.
Now although all my examples were far from the medical field, one can still see how any technology can be used indiscriminately for both good and evil. I'm sure all the people receiving electricity from a nucular power plant and all the people incinerated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki can a-test to that.
In vitro fertilization was an ultimate break-through for women and families who could not other wise have children. One can ask themselves, how can there anything be wrong with having a baby. They(babies) have that innate defence mechanism no "human being" can resist while looking upon them, loving them cause they are so dang cute. But when those "human beings" have the ability to close their eyes, to protect themselves from the on slot of cuteness, analytical, logical, one could dare say COLD minds could differ in that opinion.
Is there anything right about teen pregnancy, pregnancy among prostitutes, Drug addicts, homeless, the mentally insain or incapable? I am not one to say over all what is right or wrong, but I do say, in some instances an analytical, logical, COLD mind could say it was wrong to bring that life into this world.
With that being said, having a child under some circumstances may not be the right thing, then I feel in vitro fertilization needs to be regulated in some way. I'm not saying we need a government oversight committee to look into each case, but possibly, an agreement by the sperm donor prior to implantation?
Should all responsibility of the man go to the way side once the playboy is put down and the plastic cup is placed in the little door way?
I don't think so, especially if there is a special connection between the man and the women. Even if there isn't a special connection, one would think that male would want to know their DNA may have the opportunity to grow and thrive in a positive living environment. I'm not saying whether Sulieman's octuplets is good or bad, there are enough people talking about that, I'm just saying that we need some checks and balances on in vitro fertilization. It seems to me that having the male sperm donors take more responsibility over their DNA would be an easy way to do so.
In fact, wouldn't that be morally right? It's simply my Apinion for the day.
