This article is disturbing on many levels but the biggest tragedy is that children have become commodities instead of the true gifts they really are. Ideally, children are raised by their biological mother and father. That is the best situation for human flourishing. I get it that this misses the mark frequently but it should still be the gold standard. I also understand adoption is difficult but at least the process is in keeping with the dignity of the child!

Kids, to me, come with marriage,” - what a narcissistic statement from a gay man. No one would have said or thought this even 30 years ago.

When people (kids and women) are allowed to be bought and sold, our world is in serious trouble. How easy it is to discard and abuse commodities. There is a declining respect for the dignity of what it means to be human and that can’t end well for society.

We have already lived through slavery and found that it was horrific- are we really going down this path again?

Such a well stated response!

I am horrified by this trend.

The dignity of the child, and the dignity of women continue to degrade in our “brave new world.”

Tragic.

The agenda is transhumanism

“Everybody wants to pick the eye color, but thats not possible.” YET. GMO babies are the least of the twisted dystopian distortions satanic forces are currently propagandizing upon the world

I agree with you, Nancy.

And "Kids, to me, come with marriage,” - this is true only in the sense that kids are often (but not always!) the natural and often "unplanned" result of marriage. That guy sounds horrible.

Virtue signaling parents view their children as just another accessory.

Their identity is an extension of vapid consumerism. What hashtag to add to their bio today. What humans they surround themselves with serve a similar role of vanity and signaling.

Yes. Of course. We never left that path. Slavery, “outsourcing”, surrogacy, Ai ... it never ends.

One thing you can count on across the ages: the “bad guys” will always want to have the right to kill life if it suits them. (Err...I mean “reductions” )

One might say narcissism is the defining trait of this Age.

Or at least those who wind up in media-friendly stories.

It’s immoral to purposely deny a child a mother or a father. Disgusts me to no end.

Thank you. You expressed this much better and more concisely than I did.
