The present evolution is sort of making the saying 'A child is a gift not a right' something of a hollow premise.What with surrogacy,test tube babies,IVF and the lengths and distances(never mind the financial implications) that some men and women are prepared to go through it is sometimes forgotten that children have rights too.
Mainly the right to be born for their own sakes and not to satisfy someone's selfish wants and desires.
I think too often the question that gets forgotten is 'Why do you want a child?'
Frankly the answer has got to be more than because I physically can't have one.After all there are far too many orphaned children already in this world,some of whom are damaged physically and mentally who never get a chance of a loving family because they are too old,too damaged and not of the same flesh.
If you truly want to care for someone why do they have to be of your DNA?Why not just love a child because they need love,not because they have your eyes?
