No, Adoption and Third-Party Reproduction Are Not the Same

One responds to a child’s loss. The other creates it.

My prolife stance

1. If the mothers live is in danger and the baby is not viable out of the womb

If the baby is not viable then if the mom dies then the baby will die too. However, if the baby is viable then the baby should be removed and the mother should be treated.

2. If the child would not survive birth due to extreme defects

There are many defects that cause immense pain or extreme struggle for a child. Such as if they can't breathe properly, can't eat, don't have normal brain function. In these cases it's understandable that a parent would not want their child to suffer.

3. Babies conceived from assault are physical evidence of the act.

Getting rid of them only makes the case harder to prove especially with minors. I believe the woman should put them up for adoption if they do not wish to keep them and if they abort then refer to point 8

4. I'm completely against gamete donation and surrogacy and IVF.

Too many cases have come up where people are getting with their own siblings because of gamete donation. Everyone should have the right to know where they came from and many of these places don't want to give up the information of the people that donated the gametes. If someone wants to know who their biological mother is, then they should be allowed to. And with IVF many babies are needlessly aborted because they want to create as many eggs as possible. There's no point in having all of your other babies die just to produce one. It would be better to adopt. As for surrogacy It's completely and utterly not for the child. They don't care about mother and child bonds or about infant trauma. You wouldn't separate a puppy from their mother at birth yet you would separate a human being from their mother at birth and no one sees the problem with this. That baby doesn't know the surrogate isn't their "mother" yet she is the one that they look for when they are born. She is the one that they want and to remove her from that is so cruel to that child.

5. People should be allowed to get sterilized if they want

If someone wants to get sterilized then they should be allowed to. Just as with any other surgery they need to sign whatever paperwork that they need to do to show that this is the decision that they make and they need to stand on that decision. Once a person is a legal adult in their country then they should be allowed to sterilize themselves if they want to. If they regret it then that's on them.

6. Infant adoption should only occur if there are no biological family members that can take them in.

Infants adoption is already traumatic especially when many of these parents take the babies away as soon as they're born in the hospital, these children need their family members and if it's possible to have them go with family it's better for them to do that. Let's not add the fact that many of these families who are looking for babies are extremely manipulative, especially during covid, when many of them were angry that mothers were actually able to provide for their children and thus kept their babies.

7. Birth control and protection should be accessible

Banning birth control would not help mothers keep their babies. We should focus less on trying to stop people from not having children and more on promoting and helping families, especially mothers from preconception to postpartum. If someone does not wish to have children then that's fine, they should be taking the proper steps to not create a baby.

8. Deceased babies should be treated with respect regardless of if their mothers wanted them or not

If in the end a child has to be aborted then that should be treated with respect. They are not medical waste. They are not science experiments. They are babies. They are human beings and should be respected as such. They deserve to be cremated and at least have a small service for them. If you can't do that, then at least give a moment of silence. Small cremation urns like in the photo, or maybe a memorial plaque with each baby's name that can be added. They were not just a clump of cells, they were another human being and if you're going to end their life, at least respect them.

Anyone else see this leading to women getting harassed to donate eggs?

Finland to raise egg donor compensation amid fertility concerns

The Finnish government will increase compensation for egg donors from €250 to €350 starting January 2026, as part of a broader effort to sup

The Finnish government will increase compensation for egg donors from €250 to €350 starting January 2026, as part of a broader effort to support fertility treatment and reproductive health services. The decision, announced by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, was approved within the government’s mid-term budget framework. The change comes as Finland continues to grapple with historically low birth rates.

The infertility support organisation Simpukka welcomed the move but said it falls short of addressing wider challenges in fertility treatment involving donated reproductive cells.

In its statement, Simpukka thanked the government for acknowledging the role of donors but urged further action. The group called for targeted investment in treatments involving donor gametes, which are becoming an increasingly important part of the national fertility landscape.

Official statistics show that while Finland’s overall birth rate has declined to record lows, the number of children conceived using donated reproductive cells is rising. In 2023, 842 children were conceived through donor-assisted treatments, accounting for nearly one-third of all conceptions via fertility treatment.

Alongside the donor compensation increase, the government will also boost support services for women who experience miscarriage or suffer from fear of childbirth. These additions are part of a broader package aimed at improving reproductive healthcare outcomes.

The updated compensation for egg donors is intended to better reflect the time, effort, and medical procedures involved in donation. Egg retrieval typically requires hormonal treatments and a surgical procedure, which can carry physical and emotional demands.

Fertility professionals and advocacy groups have repeatedly highlighted donor shortages as a barrier to timely access to treatment. Clinics in Finland have also faced increased demand for donor-assisted fertility services in recent years.

While the legislative change is expected to improve donor availability, campaigners stress that ongoing support, awareness, and investment are needed to ensure access and equity in fertility care.

Can anyone connect me with information about the health dangers of egg donation? A woman in my family is considering it but she seems to think it’s easy money and I know there’s more to it than that, but Google only wants to tell me how profitable it can be 🙄

Concept: It's illegal for a Jedi to be a sperm or egg donor

If they have the sperm/eggs labeled as possibly force-sensitive, the sperm might be targeted by people who want Warrior Babies. If they have that aspect a secret from potential recipients, it's viewed as the Jedi seeding future members and knowingly 'taking' children that the parents really wanted, even if the parents don't actually give them up.

Arguably, it's also illegal for a Jedi to be a surrogate? But I imagine that without a genetic component, the midichlorian count could fade naturally over the months following the birth (if the author is so inclined).

For this context, I'm imagining that it gets there via placenta but without bone marrow or something to make more, it fades as the midi cells die off.
