Health Committee recommendations on Assisted Human Reproduction Bill rejected https://bit.ly/2OygGkX
“There are many problematic aspects to the General Scheme of the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill as it stands, not least the assumption that natural ties should not matter"

@timorl @SecondJon I agree with timorl, there is no difference between Annemarie and Anne&Marie but it seems that Annamarie is closer to baby selling than Anne&Marie. Is it because two fondamental moments of being a mother (conceiving and gestating) are separated that makes it appear less problematic? This is what I am trying to understand.
@SecondJon @timorl Adoption is noble and praiseworthy. It gives a family to children that found themselves in difficult circumstances. What I am discussing here, instead, is the opposite. Traditional surrogacy deliberately separates children from their mothers. I personally object every form of artificial reproduction but I think the law should permit ivf within the couple. I wouldn't use it but I don't see strong reason to ban it.
Instead, every other procedure that deliberately separates a child from their natural mother and also father should not be permitted by the law because it is not in the interest of the child.

The reason our community agreed to let the camera crew – who were lovely, by the way – invade our life is this: it seems so many people right now are starting to think that things should be better. https://www.bruderhof.com/en/voices-blog/life-in-community/three-things-i-love-most-about-the-bruderhof

@timorl I guess it was meant for Americans, that's why it focuses on Christianity. I struggled with a couple of them but got 15/15 eventually. 😀
