If anyone harbored any doubts that satan is running Cannuckistan, THIS hellish tale should relieve you of any lingering doubts.
In 20 years time? I know what "the ethics" will be then. Jesus will have returned and all of Cannuckistan will lay in ruins because of diabolical plots like this one.
No wonder everyone up there seem like such freaks. Brian Mulrooney is his own grandfather, for God's sake.
Girl able to give birth to own half-sibling
A seven-year-old Canadian girl may one day have the option of becoming impregnated with her mother's eggs -- a decision that could result in her giving birth to her own half-brother or sister.
The girl was born with a genetic condition known as Turner's Syndrome that will likely result in her becoming infertile.
Her mother, Melanie Boivin, a Montreal lawyer, has frozen her own eggs to be set aside for future use by her daughter, should she choose to use them.
The work was among developments announced Tuesday by Canadian doctors at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Lyon, France.
The donation is being described as an act of love by the doctors from the McGill Reproductive Center in Montreal.
Critics say that the work raises ethical issues and is deeply concerning. But it will be years before the girl, Flavie Boivin, is in a position to accept the donation. And she and her future partner will have the choice of whether to use the donated eggs or not, say proponents of the research.
Still, the mother, 35, and her partner -- the girl's father -- thought long and hard about their decision, she said.
"We were concerned about the ethical questions -- would I look at the child as my grandchild or as my own? We were also concerned about the financial impact, the physical impact on me and the emotional impact on the family," Melanie said, as cited by the BBC.
But in an effort to help her daughter, she eventually sought out the help of a team at McGill University, led by Professor Seang Lin Tan.
She said she wouldn't hesitate to donate an organ to her child, if it was needed, and decided an egg donation was along the same lines.
The team freezes eggs for cancer patients and others who want to preserve the option of giving birth.
Because the work raises so many ethical concerns, Tan and his team sought the approval of an independent ethics commissioner before going ahead.
"The ethic committee agreed to it because the mother giving to a daughter is out of love and it is up to the daughter and partner in future years to decide whether to use the eggs or not," he said, according to the BBC.
"And ethical considerations change with time. Who knows what the ethics will be in 20 years from now."
