I was watching 60 minutes yesterday and saw an interview with a gay couple purchasing their dream babies from a baby factory in India. I used the word purchase because it is literally shopping for babies - fill up an order form online, tick the characteristics of the baby you like, send the sample of your sperm, pay the money and receive your baby in 9 months time. Altogether $40,000 for a twin babies. Donor eggs can be bought for about a $1,000. They're then fertilised in the laboratory and implanted into a surrogate who receives about $5,000. I don't know if I should applaud for the achievement of man playing God or shudder at the weirdness of how the world has become. If this is not weird enough, there are some chia ba bo su zo group of people trying to hybridise homo sapiens and chimpanzee. They have done it with Liger (cross between male lion and female tiger) that has unlimited phase of growth and can weigh up close to a tonne. Gene enhancement. No thank you! There are enough starving pedigree homo sapiens in the world, we don't need further competition. Imagine the day when earth becomes The Planet of Apes . . .
Well, hello to whoever that's still following me here :) *waves*
