Apparently, according to this news story……yes, you can.
Or, perhaps the child will be seen as a miracle.. like the first test tube baby.
Perhaps not.
But, there are two parents, one of each sex. Is it any different from a family with two parents where one of the parents decides to have a sex change after the children are born? Then, the family may have 2 mothers, or 2 fathers. We live in a world where sex changes are possible. Whether you agree with it or not.
This is just one complication of the progress of medical and surgical science.
How can you know what is going through his mind? The biological urge to procreate is very strong.
Well, the pre WW2 generation would have been bullied at school if their parents were divorced, or if their mother wasn’t married.
Times change.
Probably, and calling us all names… the old git! :)
Some lovely stuff here :) Thanks to everyone for sharing.
Three passions by Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next ,because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagoren power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
or to put it another way:
Three passions have governed my life:
The longing for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of men.
I have wished to know why the stars shine.Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.This has been my life; I found it worth living.
Solvent abuse!
How far can you see?
Is that Ped’s ugly tree quote?
Child cuddles and hugs????
Is that a JC Board translation for something relating to p aedo philes.
Perhaps not the most appropriate translation under these circumstances.
