Letter: Leave babies up to nature
Come back Frankenstein all is forgiven. Scientists say they are close to "manufacturing" a baby in a dish from stem cells taken from the skin of two males. Why?
The human race has been producing babies the natural way since the beginning.
Why can't they use their skills to find cures to all the diseases that continue to plague us?
I have every sympathy for those who can't produce children of their own but there are plenty of needy babies awaiting adoption.
The last thing this world needs is more babies.
It is producing far too many already. Over-population will pose a bigger threat to this planet than anything else, unless it is brought under control.
But when I see how impossible it is for nations to agree on other serious issues that affect this world I hold little or no hope for a solution to that problem.
