To help get that started, I'm hoping to craft a "story of me" for their first birthday.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486097237024664250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395708726814125885.post-26227864847741942602011-05-28T21:13:50.392-04:002011-05-28T21:13:50.392-04:00Sean, I will be covering the concept of "natu...Sean, I will be covering the concept of "natural" vs "unnatural" in an upcoming entry, most likely in one discussing the morality of the embryo transfer.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm working on three different entries right now, so it'll be a little while before I get to that specific topic.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486097237024664250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395708726814125885.post-22460860712631320772011-05-27T17:49:16.995-04:002011-05-27T17:49:16.995-04:00Oh- 3 please!

That is, as I understand it, one of the foundational concepts in Catholic Moral Theology regarding reproduction is that one is not to introduce the "unnatural" into the reproductive act. Embryo Adoption would seem to present a problem similar to IVF: it is "unnatural", taking an embryo not produced naturally and implanting it. In EA, of course, you are saving an embryo who would otherwise die, rather than creating an embryo that will probably die, so therein lies the moral complexity, but I'd like to see a treatment of the Biological foundations to Moral Theology that deals with the "unnatural" in EA.<br /><br />Thanks for starting this blog; this is a fascinating topic and needs to be explored. (And, of course, your children are beautiful, so there is empirical evidence that EA has at least some good!)Seanhttps://www.facebook.com/sean.g.lewisnoreply@blogger.com
