The Pro-Idiots OverStep their Bounds. What's New?

This is no one's business but the parents. They have a chance of having a suitable donor as a child naturally - and no one gives a rat's ass about that - but if they try to use science to help them have that child - so it will be suitable to save another child already in this world who will die if no donor is found - that's too fucking bad. At least that is what the court has ruled.

This is no one else's business. These folks that think they have to control other's lives piss me off. The child will die - how fucking pro-life is THAT???

A couple's bid to use embryo testing so they can have a baby to treat their seriously ill child has been put on hold by a High Court decision.
The Hashmi family, who had been given the go-ahead for the treatment to help their son Zain, will now have to stop their attempts to have a baby this way in the UK.

All it would take is some tissue from the umbilical cord - not even an organ or marrow. What kind of people hand down a death sentence like that to this little boy and walk away? Obviously, any new baby in this family would be extremly loved. Look what kind of wonderful parents they are.

But, hey, lets just try to force an unwed girl to carry a baby to term instead - while she is shooting up and doing drugs and then abandon the baby at the firestation - or a dumpster. That makes a LOT of fucking sense!!

I think they're concerned with the possible abuses. Say you have a child with kidney disease. You want to have another child that is a tissue match so they can donate a kidney in the future. It's the same with cloning. Are you cloning yourself to bring an individual into the world or are you doing it for personal gain.

Wasn't there a story several years ago here in America about a family that did something similar?

I agree there is a line that canbe crossed - but when we have good parents and the procedure does not risk another child's life - it should be their choice.

They are so determined to make decision for others.

But they have not made a sensible one yet.

Most of their position is based on fear of what a God would think and if they will be punished for 'playing God'.

Some guidelines need to be set to avoid just such abuses as you mentioned - but this one is clear-cut in my opinion.

There are actually a lot of people who are not religious yet still uncomfortable with genetic manipulation and cloning for personal gain. I think there is a difference between screening for genetic defects and creating a new life to aid an existing life. It's not like the kid has a choice in the matter.

To me, pro-life means that no life is more important than another.
It means that no life should be chosen over another.

From the article:

"and all the resulting embryos are tested to select only those which match Zain." (they're going to kill (abort) any babies not matching)

What's more fair, to allow a person to live or die under the natural course of events?
Or, to end the life of another by human intervention by sacrificing it for the benefit of another?
