Sexual Intercourse To Be Banned Unless You Have Been Sterilised.

That's right, and the reason given will include that your babies would be at a disadvantage to and a threat to, sanctioned life. It might not seem obvious today, but think ahead to where this is all leading-

"Scientists have created mouse eggs from stem cells and used them to make healthy baby mice. The technique will help them study how eggs develop and also offers the potential to create eggs for infertile women.

Dr Allan Pacey, a fertility expert at the University of Sheffield and chair of the British Fertility Society, said: "This is a very technical piece of work which pushes much further the science of how eggs are generated and how we might one day be able to routinely stimulate the new production of eggs for women who are infertile.

Saitou used two types of stem cells in his work: embryonic stem cells, which are found in early-stage embryos and can turn into any type of tissue in the body; and induced pluripotent stem cells, which are made by taking a cell from an adult (such as a skin cell) and reprogramming it into a state similar to an embryonic stem cell."

Looks likes this thread isn't getting the attention it deserves. Maybe that's because it seems so implausible to think that such freedoms could ever be at risk. 

Following on, a scientist has given a likely scenario for future choices regarding our children. In a world where a) some people might live in space (possiby very confined areas) and b) where resources might be expensive, perhaps his vision of the future isn't so bizarre-

"In the paper, he actually puts forth the idea of parents giving hormones to their children in order to stunt their growth, along with adopting policies where people have to decide whether or not they want “one large child, two medium-sized children, or three small children”."

In addition to this method above, simply take some skin samples from short people or genetically manufactured short people, heck maybe people only will need to be 2 feet tall, and create your more economical family.

 If you look at GMO crops by Monsanto et al, you'll see that these kind of forced regulations really come from the right. That's typically where the power and money is. These people are total right wing control freaks.

Not mine, that's for sure.

Because they manipulate nature too. It's a fairly obvious correlation between seeds for crops and seeds for people.

No, but I've not read about what jazz is saying

I don't understand what you're saying. Please elaborate on this "obvious correlation" to explain why you think the right might be the source of sexual intercourse bans (i.e., population control.)

Actually we're only here because we've lived with nature for millions of years. We now are gaining near complete control over it. Babies from pieces of skin? This is advanced stuff, that's far from where reality has been. 

Banning sexual intercourse to reproduce will likely result because major corporations push for it. Imagine, everyone's a customer, the government has increased control over it's population. I think it's inevitable.

Don't be ridiculous.

 

 

 

Possibly. But they will be bedfellows with the radical left environmentalist who think there are already too many people.

 

But thanks for admitting what the government wants to do (or is a vehicle for): Control its population.

There's no doubt governments seek overwhelming control over their citizens, and I've never argued they don't. 

Can you really not see that making people out of human skin and having apples made with the DNA of spiders, crocodiles, parsley and worms, gives us control over nature that's well beyond anything before?

Of course it does. But that does not mean we have total control of nature (or are event close to it) as you implied in a previous statement.

I don't support about 90% of what government does. That probably makes me the exact opposite of the person you're trying to say I am.

Things are constantly getting more and more controlled too. Whilst there are some good things in the mix, the vast majority of that control I see as an invasion of my rights, or someone else's. There are sensible controls like pollution standards, that effect people directly by impacting on their health and environment and then there are a vast number of laws that simply keep people in nicely controlled little boxes.
