But he did consent and she relied on that consent knowing it was her only chance to ever have a child on her own. I'll grant you that in this case, they both knew the rules, but the rules need to change. And yes, I would say the same if he wanted the embryos. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

What beverage are you currently addicted to?

I don't use the clear stevia--to me, it's disgusting. I use the dark stevia extract. It has almost a licorice-y taste, and it's very good in tea (and in yerba mate) but not quite so good in coffee. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb -

Unfermented soy is poison. It's bad for your thyroid. It's bad for men to ingest large quantities of what is essentially an estrogen source. I'm not going to post a link or cite any studies but just google on "soy" and "poison" and see for yourself. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Darjeeling tea with stevia. Pomegranate juice (half and half with water). rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb -
We have 5 7/8ths hot dogs left. And Ms. Cara will eat them, or you will be in big, big trouble. They're kosher. How bad can it be? rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

In addition to packing skills, she has excellent babysitting skills, which makes her appropriate for all three of you...especially funks. But I'm not sure that any of you have offered what she's worth. So maybe I'll sell her elsewhere. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Even if I perceive that there are "glaring inequities" on DZ.com that doesn't alter my responsibility, as an adult, to abide by the HH's rules of conduct. Even if other people break the rules or I perceive the rules are unfairly enforced I shall abide by the rules, as a responsible adult.

Just don't let him come on you. I hear he has this thing for the salty pirate. Or was that GTA? Where the hell is GTA? Was he banned? As for funks, we all know who is going to be kissing whose ass a couple of weeks from now, so I'm not at all worried about him coming anywhere near me.

Banned prior to becoming a moderator. Not banned while a moderator. I think that's not what we're talking about. The trouble with discussions about this is that they devolve to arguments about the merits of specific cases. The issue, however, is that there are those who feel (and I'm one of them) that there are glaring inequities at times. Being a moderator is a hard job, and I wouldn't want to do it. And I think that given the difficulties of moderating this site, the moderators here do a pretty good job. But the inequities, when they occur, are...disturbing. So, yeah, this time I do agree with Ron, and given that I'm on the hook for the beer, it's not agreement that is given lightly or without much consideration. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

I know. But you know me--I talk not about how it is but how I think it should be. You know...just like everyone else. But I also think there's a flaw in my argument, and I haven't quite sorted it out yet. It has become clear to me that my stance on abortion has a lot to do with the use of a woman's uterus. I think that if we're ever able to come up with a uterine replicator, my position--except as to a damaged fetus (not counting easily correctible birth defects)--will do a 180. Interesting (to me, anyway) what a little thinking outside the womb can do. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

And I'm of the opinion that once agreed, the agreement should be irrevocable if even one wants the embryo nurtured and brought to term--as long as it's not required that an unwilling woman be required to supply the womb. On the other hand, I don't think in such a case that the non-consenting party should be required to contribute to the child's upkeep. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

No. It's not analogous. In one case, he has the use of her womb, and in the other, he doesn't. A woman's womb belongs to her, but genes belong to the race. Also, in reply to another post, I don't expect that either of them anticipated ending the engagement, or she might have made other arrangements. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

What would we want to do if the situation were reversed? He finds a willing womb, and he wants the embryos to implant? rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

He consented when the embryos were fertilized with his sperm. The ideal solution under the circumstances would be to treat him the same way a sperm donor is treated--as a non-father.

Just don't let the bikers steal her. She has to go back to work in a couple of weeks. I can't give her my car this morning because she's out like a light, so I'll have to come home at lunch for that. She was funny when we were driving here from the airport--it was like going back in time: "How much longer?" I guess the three hours on the plane made her really tired of sitting. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb
