...Which might be coming too late to make any difference. Oh well.
I will now address one of my questions from this past week's Q&A.
The President's Council on Bioethics referenced the fact that many children who are adopted or the offspring of a sperm donor go on to try to seek out their genetic parents. From this, they argued against cloning-to-produce-children using genetic material from a donor who is not related to the prospective parents.
However, I think that the drive to find one's "real parents" is a social construct. We put too much stock in knowing whose cells fused to form the zygote we grew from. The people who helped us become functioning human beings after birth are at least as important, in my opinion.
