[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great! Then we can do a study seeing if the children of the secular do better than the children of religious folk, and legislate accordingly? Because there's a good deal of evidence that they do.

I assume you'll support that, and if the evidence comes out in accordance with prior studies, you'll support banning religious people from using reproductive technology and preventing them from adopting. Right.,[/quote]

my argument is not about adoption. it's about surrogacy when it comes to raising a child in an environment without a mother and a father. can you name one reason how this is in the absolute best interest of a child? you can't use adult-focused arguments. focus on the child. why deprive him or her a mother and a father from day 1? Think about it this way. You don't think a father provides a unique set of fathering abilities when his son is learning how to shave, feeling his hormones come on, etc. etc or a mother with a daughter who needs to buy her first bra? What's the optimal thing for a child. Clearly having both a mom and a dad. If it weren't why would it take a mom and a dad to create one?[/quote]

You're dodging my question. If such a study showed -- as is indicated by the current data -- that the children of secular couples had better outcomes, would you then ban religious people from surrogacy?[/quote]

Sure. That's fine. It wouldn't show that. You forget that any differences arising between how kids in Manhattan whose parents are atheists do versus Ma and Pa Kettle's kids in Alabama is income-based. Not religious based. But sure, I'm game.[/quote]
