My long-time friend and I got together for lunch two weeks ago. As usual, we had so many things to talk about, even if we always “see” each other in Facebook. Yes, there’s no replacing face-to-face interaction 😉
Anyway, she told me about a woman who has two children. No big deal, right? The mother is single. Still no big deal, eh? The mother got “impregnated”at a sperm donor clinic, in vitro style, after she chose the would-be father from among other candidates. Said father is both the children’s biological dad.
Yes, this is possible, for career women who want to have children but don’t want marital ties (and woes?).
Morally… well I actually do not want to delve into the moral aspect of this topic because if the mother can take care of the two children, can love them unconditionally, can raise them to be good and responsible citizens, then I am probably a bit closed ear to hear anything that challenges the mother’s actions pertaining to morals.
Thing is, the idea fascinates me so, that women who don’t have plans of getting married can have their own child (or children in this matter) without strings and emotional ties attached. THEIR. OWN. CHILD.
I’d be happy to support my many friends should they want to go through this, yoohoo!
And if ever they do so, I would probably defend them from people who’ll question why they wanted to have this process done.
I know that after all has been said and done, after the smoke has been cleared in case the ammos are brought out, they alone can make choices for themselves.
They alone can decide if motherhood is right for them.
I know it will be. It is with me. 🙂
