Mothers Without Men, Donor Insemination
My opinion about Donor Insemination compared to the article “Mothers without Men”Amanda Riley-Jones
I don’t think that donor insemination should be available as an option for singles, homosexuals, and other people who cross the unnatural way of having children, for their own good only. From my point of view it’s very selfish to bring children to the world when you are a single parent. Caroline Webb claims it’s her choice and she as a person fits the procedure of donor insemination. That it’s accepted what she does, because it’s better than if a parent abandoned the child which happens all the time. I think it’s very wrong and exposing that the child doesn’t has the opportunity at all to get the child-father relationship which is very important in life. Caroline Webb actually makes the decision on purpose that the child will have a missing whole in the childhood and trough the raising. That is disturbing. It concludes that she values her needs and ego higher than the baby. Besides, when parents choose to leave their family, it’s often not a quite easy situation concerning economics, surplus, safety and mental/social balance. Although it’s common it’s tough and not very healthy to the family. A single parent could easy suffer under some of the same conditions for example economical problems, while there normally only is one income. I could imagine it also would be ruff to raise a child all by yourself, without a partner to guide or help you.

On the other side the parent/Caroline Webb wants the baby really bad, compared to some relationship where the baby happens to be an ’’accident.’’
I could therefore imagine the mother would be more carrying and supportive to the baby, simply because the child is more wanted. Of course it’s also important that the potential parent has the financial and psychic qualities that require raising a child, which Caroline claims to has when her position is Hospital Chef.
Caroline Webb also sticks to the fact that “there’d be no

    Yet looking closely, we can see how the girl has changed her perspective. Her intentions seem to be completely different than the man. We can assume that the couple have not settled down because of the girls statement about what they do, “That’s all we do, isn’t it- look at things and try new drinks”(116). We can also suggest that they travel quite frequently when the narrator claims, “He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights”(118). Through the remarks of the girl we can assume that by keeping this baby instead aborting would allow her to settle down with the man. She also began to stand up for herself as she repeatedly tells the man if he can please stop talking.…

    In relationships, there is the heart-broken and the heart-breaker. In this case, the woman is the heart-breaker. She shows her desperation in the beginning where she bawls, “I’m glad you’re leaving! I’m glad you’re leaving!” The man only wishes to keep the baby to savor the past although doing so in an aggressive manner. The baby is the pinnacle of their bond. In other words, the baby is a metaphor that symbolizes their past. They don’t mind for the safety of their child because it is non-existent. They only wish for the memory to…

    A new ethical discussion is emerging in the oncology world due to overwhelming advances in fertility preservation in all age groups. The journal article “The Ethics of Fertility Preservation for Paediatric Cancer Patients: From Offer to Rebuttable Presumption” addresses the pressing need to discuss the ethics of failing to preserve fertility as this current practice may no longer be considered ethically appropriate for populations for whom established techniques are available. The current standard practice involves merely offering the option of fertility preservation procedures to children and young adults with cancer. Previous ethical discussions of fertility preservation have focused on the question of whether it is appropriate to perform fertility preservation procedures for a particular patient. The question at the heart of this article suggests the new discussion needs to address the question, “is failing to proceed with fertility preservation ethically justifiable?’” (McDougall 2015). The article gives some…

    Since the women bear the children, it makes sense for the notion “Natural-born mother” to be used. However, I don’t think it’s all natural; maybe some hormones are involved, but no woman is born to be a mother. Some women or men are good with children and that can make them a good or seemingly “natural-born” parent. With some parents, the way they act is not natural or understandable. There is this TV show, Momsters, it’s about mothers who take extraordinary measures to please and care for their children. In our society, their actions are deemed as idiotic and reckless which only hurt themselves and their children. From the episode I saw, no one died, but the children had to clean up for their mother's…

    She brought up a great point that in most European countries, they practice “presumed consent” which is when “all citizens are considered donors at death unless they sign an anti-donor card”. In my opinion, I believe that it is harder to say no when the situation is right in front of you, than to say no when you are getting your license at sixteen years old. It is definitely easier to just pass by the opportunity to give life to someone else when the situation does not directly affect you.…

    There’s some reasons why a mother might abandon her kid but if there ain’t a reason for a mother to leave her kid like if they don’t have a dad that kid is going be on it’s own for a while. The mother should think twice before she gets pregnant and if she wants to then she needs to learn that you have take care of your child until he or she is 18.

    Becoming a parent is a life changing decision and for some, it can be very difficult to have a child of their own. There are many different options, from adoption to in-vitro fertilization. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 6.7 million women between the ages of 15-44 are infertile in the United States. The joy of becoming a mother is a blessing and many of these women end up searching for other alternatives. There has been much debate on the concept of surrogate motherhood. Surrogacy gives the opportunity for infertile women and gay couples to become parents and raise children of their own, but is this the best option?…

    Judge Sorhow’s insisted in the Baby M. case that couples are not buying a baby because someone cannot buy something that is already there’s, Rothaman puts the claim in a different perspective (Pantich 275). For example, in a situation where a sperm donor changed his mind and one day asked the couple for his child back, the donor would technically hold genetic ties to the child. However it seems that in this scenario, the sperm donor would have no right over that child…
