Lots in the News today
1) I have put the article about Designers babies and Lesbians havng free sperm donation, you can guess my opinion on that.

The Gay Lobbying group Stonewall have a new leader him/she is Ruth Hunt and she wants to make it a legal requirement that Preschool Children should celebrate being Gay. No matter what this MushMalt or the Government says I will never tell my grandchildren that being Gay is normal. I continually remind you that just 1.5% of the population are Gay according to the last government survey, so what right have they got to change society in such a dramatic way?

2) It seems the only way you get any recognition from any of the Political Parties is if you are very very rich, those of us on modest incomes and help with voluntary work may get get the lowest order an OBE but his you are Karen Brady you become a Peer, it is like going back hundreds of years to Landed Gentry and Peasants
3) Admire the Guy who started the private road BUT the Council Pen Pushers will soon have him closed down, lets hope he wins for all of us.
4) Nick Clegg continues you tell people immigration is good for us? It maybe for a Multi millionaire like him he will get lots of cheap labour but if you are British trying to find a job or house its not so good
5) Once again Peter Hitchens writes a good article. Last week Cameron (can't wait till they get rid of this man) said more sanction on Russia must be enforced he went on to say that Russia has no right to interfere in the Politics and running of another Country? Cameron Pot Kettle Black what did we do in Iraq, Afghanistan, Balkans, Libya??

COMMENT: Designer babies are a disaster for society, writes Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali says the announcement raises some important questions about the future of our children and the role of men in our families

This announcement raises some important questions about the future of our children and the role of men in our families and communities.

The most important thing to say is that the needs of any child must be primary. It is the upbringing, welfare and education of the child that should be the prior consideration. It is not enough to ‘want’ a child, let alone one with particular characteristics.

This bank will allow women to choose from profiles of donors, which will include educational attainment and ‘attractiveness’ criteria, raising the spectre of ‘designer babies’, born to the parents’ specifications.

What if the process of pregnancy and birth ‘interferes’ with the desired outcomes? Will such babies then be rejected?

Research shows that children are best brought up in families where a mum and dad are present. The role of fathers in the nurture of their children is unique and cannot be replaced by other so-called ‘male role-models’ or, indeed, an extra ‘mother’.

Research tells us that children relate to their fathers differently than to their mothers, and this is important in developing a sense of their own identity.

In particular, boys need closeness to their fathers for a sense of security and in developing their own identity, including appropriate patterns of masculine behaviour.

The results of ‘father-hunger’ can be seen in educational achievement and on our streets, where it contributes to delinquency.

None of this should detract from the heroism of single parents. They should be provided with every support by the State and by local communities.

There is, however, a big difference between children growing up without fathers because of death or family breakdown, and actively planning to bring children into the world who will not know one of their biological parents and where such a parent will never be part of the nurture of these children.

Research tells us that children relate to their fathers differently than to their mothers, and this is important in developing a sense of their own identity, writes Bishop Nazir-Ali

This also brings the question of anonymity to the fore. The change in the law, so people could, at a certain age, find out who their biological father is, has certainly contributed to the ‘shortage’ of donors in response to which the sperm bank has been set up.

If there is no anonymity, will potential donors come forward, or will the bank face these same ‘shortages’?
