Observation
I was watching a episode of Chicago Med. A family came into the ER, the pregnant woman having problems breathing. As the staff went to work trying to figure out what was wrong it soon came to light that she was only pregnant only because she had a daughter who had leukemia, and the baby was going to be a parts factory.
I had to pause the show. I was afraid I was going to throw up.
I was reminded about a time in the early nineties when X1 wanted to adopt a girl from Korea to be a housekeeper/babysitter. She even alluded that I could fuck her when she got old enough.
There are a lot of good reasons to adopt a child, and none of those are on my list. In fact I was completely horrified. In Korean culture that is considered acceptable.
In my culture it is not.
Back to Chicago Med.
If I could impregnate a woman with the sole purpose of saving my life. Making a baby to grow a kidney, a liver, bone marrow. It wouldn’t even be a consideration. I couldn’t do it.
I have no problem with the concept of stem cell research. I do have a problem with the concept of creating life only to kill and harvest from it.
Perhaps I am an anomaly.
