Are you talking in terms of the historical practice of what people have done or what we should do? I ask mainly because I'm of the view you judge people by their actions above their words.

This is little more than an unsubstantiated belief that there is a first mover and special pleading that god is and does not himself require creation. Pretty fundamental problems.

Ones a breach of trust, or had you not noticed?

Now if you'd have said recreation as well as re-creation I'd have agreed with you. This is just not the way it works. Realistically, the majority of time people in modern society have sex is for recreation. The vasectomy, tube tying, contraceptive industry exists for no other reason. I am...

Kant's universalism is a useful base. If everyone thought it OK to kill there'd be nobody. So that's bad. If every man raped women, women would be no better than property, in a creepy way there is no absolute reason why this is a problem and it's been essentially the rule in many societies, as...

There are already a number of places offering genetic screening. So the point is not moot any more. What sort of things would you guys go for?

Well I suppose if we were looking for an answer with the least relation to what is really required this one would do the trick.
