also, if you have any reasons behind it, i would like to know them.
p.s. IVF = test tube babies

Why would anyone be against it?
#edit#
I had a quick chat with Dr. Google and it seems some studies suggest there's a somewhat higher probability of birth defects in IVF. Yet I suspect the main issues people might have with this are just the typical religious bullshit. :|
people would be against it for religious reasons, or just any moral reasons. e.g. its unnatural, and things can go wrong etc.Quote:

Well I suppose you could argue that it's bad for the human race evolutionarily speaking.
Not that I personally believe it's a bad thing.
Can you add useless in the vote?
We don't understand enough about the human body and its functions to mess around with it on this level. We can't even fix spinal cord injury consistently yet.
I vote 'unwise'. Or bad.
It may be useful in the future when we need to genetically engineer humans with traits that make them comfortable in deep space as pilots or members aboard "star ships", but it should be reserved for the time that we really know enough about what we're doing in that field.
how on earth is it useless, ive heard many arguements about it, but never useless.Quote:

well, its actually advanced enough to have no mistakes. there are a lot of people out there right now all grown up and normal who were test "tube babies"Quote:

One child per family is fine, and if it's used for sterile women, I see no issue if it's a flawless procedure.
By that logic isn't a Cesarean section also unnatural?Quote:

and i dont mind you bringing god into this, religion is part of the arguement anyway.
it was just a reference to that other thread...Quote:

But it's relevant. Holding a position without a proper justification ("because it's unnatural!") by itself is bad, it's even worse if the person holds it as a double standard.Quote:

I don't really have a problem with it. The only issue I know of is that there's a greater chance for multiple births, since doctors often implant multiple embryos in case a few fail to implant.
There wasn't "indifferent" option in the poll :<
