Hi again
Yes I have a comment. It sounds like a trashy newspaper's way to fill
up space with sensationalised 'National Enquirer' type pulp. I mean,
to use the phrase 'it will be a sin'? Oh Pleeeze! And as for aborting
gay babies well isn't that a tired old chestnut? I think there would be
a very good business in farming gay and lesbian embryos for gay
and lesbian parents. Perhaps we can have an assortment of
disabilities as well. However science may intervene the science can't
make the decision to do it. I ask the tongue-in-cheek question:
should non disabled people be allowed to raise disabled
children?...Should heterosexual parents be allowed to bring up gay
and lesbian children? I think its unhealthy and morally dubious :-)
> I wondered if anyone else had read the article which appeared in the
> London Metro free publication in the last day or so:
>
> Parents 'have duty to abort disabled babies'

> Parents will soon have a moral duty to abort pregnancies when a severe
> disability is detected, a leading scientist has suggested.
> Bob Edwards, who led the team behind Britain's first test tube baby,
> said it will be a 'sin' for parents to give birth to a disabled child.
