All three articles shed fascinating light on a common theme -- the commodification of human reproduction.
Yuppie couples too busy for actual sex prefer in vitro fertilization for its convenience and efficiency, while lesbians want IVF because it's their inalienable "right" to add fatherless kids to their post-modern families.
Scientists want to implant human embryos into animals in order to advance stem-cell research.
Lawyers anticipate big bucks when broken-up couples go to court over who has the custody of frozen embryos.
Selecting the sex of your children is expected to become as common as picking out the color of your handbag.
Let's face it --- sex is just a business, and the really big money will not be in pornography in the future --- it will be in the commercialization of human reproduction and all the "designer options" that will be marketed as lifestyle choices.
Eventually there will be a Eugenics department at Wal-Mart... bet on it.

"Mothers might be working or their children sleep in their bed. I told one of my patients who is going through IVF that another IVF patient had just conceived naturally. She said: 'What? She's having sex? Bloody Luddite'."
This is sums it up perfectly. I think they should ban bloody IVF. It’s disgusting. If anyone is too busy chasing their careers then they should pay the price. Heck what happens to the baby after he/she is born: does it get looked after by the mother or some nurse. Should only be used on couples with actual fertility problems.
Selecting your babies Gender.. What the Heck? What possible advantages can it have? (Gods) Nature has a way of balancing out. Only humans can manage to screw themselves over.
Another thing it is men that keep this thing going: Why the heck do they give sperm donations.. sick deluded men.

BECAUSE.
Because they get to jack off to pics of bimbos and get paid for the privilege and what would have ended up in a toilet or shorts or running down ones leg. they gie you a check for. DUH get over it. There's already enough sperm in banks to re-populate the world. We HAVE to get over this envy of women's uteruses. Be happy with what we have. I wish men could have their own babies, too, but it aint gonna happen and you REALLY wouldnt step up to the plate for that one anyway. Dont kid yourself.

I was just sitting and reading and thinking... and it dawned on me why SETI has found nothing. zip, nada...
you see, a species develops... it evolves... till it has something higher than whatever the fuck happens happens... its called police... once there is police, then the physically disenfranchised try to balance a score that was never out of balance in the first place (the books were never level to start with).
eventually feminism comes right after police.. revisionist history... loss of all those memes from the past...you know... like how to raise a kid..
crime shoots up.. (single parent homes), desease shoots up (women having so much liberating sex), men stop working (why bother? you only need to support yourself), on and on...
then, blip.. were gone... damn.. only 200 years of "superior" culture built on top of 10,000 years of superior family structure, on top of 200k years of speciation... gone.. in less than 100 years..
all because
women dont want to be women!!!!
that they hate themselves so much that they hate what the world has in store from them from their conception.... i cant imagine such deep inner self loathing.

Interesting hypothesis – we are evolving our selves into extinction.
