and wats wrong with manipulating it in dosmestic animals?

Answer 1

dont mess with nature

Answer 2

Humans have been manipulating reproduction in animals for thousands of years.

Dogs don't look much like wolves any more.

Dairy cows have been bred to produce way more milk than their wild ancestors.

Did you ever see a wild pig compared to a domesticated one? The wild ones are lean and mean. The domesticated ones are fat and tame.

There is nothing wrong with doing this. And, I don't see anything wrong with doing the same with humans if we can reduce the incidence of some disabling birth defects.

Answer 3

Well theres nothing really wrong with taking away the lesser male from the female. This will create better offspring, although its not done with the best of intentions so theres a moral issue involved.

Basically your saying, oo make this fat one have kids because we can eat its babies and they'll be fatter. Depends on your view point on eating animals. I don't agree really, but I eat meat, because if i stop the same amount of animals will die anyway and may as well make the most of the animals sacrifices. In an ideal world everything would be treated fairly, but its not an ideal world, so really theres no real problem with choosing reproductive partners with animals, unless you have moral issues with eating animals.

Answer 4

Although IVF can result in live births, it actually involves extensive loss of human life. No fewer than 1.2 million human embryos in Britain have been killed or left frozen as a result of IVF. It has been widely acknowledged that fewer than 5% of embryos created in IVF survive to birth. One expert has estimated that only 1.7% of IVF conceptions leads to a live birth. The vast majority of human beings generated through IVF die before birth, many being killed even before transfer to the womb is attempted.

IVF has led to unborn children being treated as 'commodities' or property. The medical director of an IVF clinic in Melbourne, Australia, revealed in June 2001 that 95% of couples who undergo IVF in the state of Victoria prefer their embryos to be killed after the statutory maximum of five years in storage rather than give them to other childless couples. Also, there have been bitter legal fights when parents of frozen embryos have separated.
