Last week (Feb 2010) the Surrogacy Bill 2009 was passed in Queensland. Being such a “progressive” state, we can now claim the great joy of creating children who will spend 9 months in a 'gestator’s' womb and then be handed over to whatever combination of parents that are prepared to finance the arrangement. The problems for the child start immediately they are conceived — they will be implanted into the wombs of females who will spend 9 months trying not to get attached to that little precious one growing in their womb. How very unnatural. Once they are handed over to daddy 1/daddy 2, mummy1/mummy2 or if they fluke it, a daddy/mummy combination, the secret of who their biological parents are will be kept a secret from them. It is not discriminatory nor homophobic to state that two female or two male parents are not ideal or natural for a child to have as parents — nature has already ‘discriminated’ by the very fact that biologically they cannot create a child within the context of their relationship. Over and over again, it has been proven that the best place for a child to be raised is with his/her natural mother and father under the same roof. This is a nature-designed environment where the child is best able to reach his/her full potential. However, this will be just the beginning — no doubt in the coming weeks, we will see yet again abortion put back on the agenda and a rush to push it through while everyone is still reeling from the surrogacy issue. |
