REPENT! AND THOU SHALL BE SAVED! NO DONATION? NO SALVATION! DAMNATION!

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a theologian.

 

This thread seems to have spun way off topic. However - I believe homosexuals should have every right to adopt children if they are able to provide the love and support that child needs to thrive.

I don't care if you are gay, straight or freaking black with pink polka dots... as long as you are fully capable of caring for a child, why not? The talk about kids "turning gay" if they are raised by gay parents is complete and utter nonsense.

You can't turn a kid gay anymore than you can force a child to be straight. Do children of straight couples automatically turn out straight? Nope.

 

A bit Off topic but

That is truly stuff up! they get the right to use IVF and do this?? GRRR not happy with them atm! stupid couple.

 

People will sue over anything these days.

 

Thats true, It is however a privilage to use IVF and from what i understand it is always a higher chance of haivng twins by using IVF!

 

A privilege and from what I understand very, VERY expensive to use IVF. I'm not sure about having a higher percentage of twins from in vitro, but I suppose that would make sense. My mother got "lucky" I guess with me, twins came to her naturally

 

If the twins are identical then it is NOT the doctor's fault. If they are fraternal then yes, the extra fertile embryo is his fault - however the lawsuit is stupid.

If it is identical it means the embryo split during its beginning devisions (which can happen) and thus a second embryo is created (I'm assuming it was implanted at a very early stage, as in less than 2,000 cells) thus creating an identical genetic clone. Identical twins are, indeed, clones - and as far as I can tell they have souls... and if one is homosexual it is likely the other will be, and now I have hit many birds with a load of buckshot it seems. Homosexuality - not choice, Cloning - not demonic hell spawns with no souls, Homosexuality being genetic - possible and likely, the fact its not the doctors fault (if Identical) absolutely.

 

Um...

If one twin is homosexual it's likely the other would be too? My sister and I are straight, and we are identical twins. However I doubt if one of us was homosexual the other would be too. Based on that assumption, EVERYTHING about twins would need to be exactly alike.

I can tell you from first hand experience that if it weren't for the fact our physical appearance gave us away, no one would know we even came from the same family. We are THAT different.

 

I cannot see why people have anything against gay
people adopting kids. They are very loving people and
they will give that adopted child a better life than in an
orphanish

 

So, you believe homosexuality is a choice rather than an inherited trait, or are you saying your case is different than the others? Surely you see that because humanity is such a large thing that I would generalize rather than list the seven or eight million different possible outcomes.

 

No I don't believe homosexuality is a choice. But I'm not sure why you feel that just because one twin is gay automatically means the other would be. I doubt that's the case but of course I'd need to see some statistics on the matter before I could form a definite opinion.

I was simply referencing your post regarding twins, and using your logic in addition to sexual preference, everything else about identical twins would be the same as well. I was just pointing out that's extremely far from the truth in my case.

 

Thats just not right. Thats why there is a mother and a father. The kids need both of them.

- Prilep

 

I know plenty of children raised by single mothers that do just fine without a father. I also know several children who were raised by gay couples and they, too, are happy, healthy children. Your ability to successfully care for a child isn't dependent on which gender you are attracted to. If a gay couple can offer the support and nurturing a child needs to thrive, I say let them.

 

If gay couple was ideal, why would there be a woman? This concept of gay couple is sick from the very start. There is no need to consider if adopt or not children if you see the corruption of it in the first place.

 

its their biggest negetive point, they can't ever reproduce so they are after adoption, and thats wierd by itself.

 

Never realised how many homophobes there are on DP until I read this thread

 

And what happens if one is missing? The kid becomes stupid? Tell me...
I'd like to know because my dad left when I was 2 and I stayed with my mom since. I've never known or seen my dad since. So, am I gay? fool? Handicapped? psychologically broken? you tell me...

 

ur dad is always there with u in ur memories, is that not true ?

 

At 2, I have no memory about him, I couldn't recognize him in the street, he brought me nothing, no phone call, nothing. But who cares? The point is: does a child become abnormal in a point or another because one of the sex representation in a family is missing?
