“First synthetic human embryo raises ethical questions,” said the BBC headline.

You think?!

Scientists have managed to grow a human embryo from stem cells rather than from an egg and sperm.

The plan is to use the embryos for research. But don’t worry. The BBC assured readers:

“Nobody is currently suggesting growing them into a baby.”

Also, the BBC has a bridge to sell you.

The reason nobody is currently suggesting growing synthetic babies is that everybody is currently busy suggesting wombs should be transplanted into men.

Gender Benders

Doctors at Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney have just performed the nation’s first uterus transplant operation involving a mother donating her uterus to her daughter, who had suffered an emergency hysterectomy after a major haemorrhage during childbirth.

And in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …

“Gynaecologist Professor Jason Abbott said the hospital had received interest in transplantation from women who had suffered medical issues such as cancer as well as ‘other groups’.”

Other groups?

What ‘other groups’ might be interested in women’s spare parts?

The Daily Telegraph reports:

“It may sound like science fiction but top doctors at one of Sydney’s biggest hospitals have raised the possibility of womb being transplanted into biological men.

“ … gynaecologists from the hospital say they are looking at transplants as an ‘option’ for the transgender population who are ‘assigned male at birth’.”

Well of course! I mean, without a womb transplant, where will the foetus gestate?

In a box?

In 1979, this was funny because of how unreal it was. In 2023, this is funny because of how real it has become.

Rather than a womb transplant, may I suggest a brain transplant. Then Stan and his friends can regroup.

But no. Progressives gonna progress.

The question is: “Progress to where?”

To a world in which men procure the leftovers from a woman’s hysterectomy which are then transplanted into them, so that they have somewhere to gestate the foetus they also procured?

When Aldous Huxley penned the phrase “brave new world”, he had no idea.

No Qualms

The Sydney Telegraph reported that, during an information video session held on May 30, the hospital’s lead research doctor and gynaecologist Dr Rebecca Deans was asked if the hospital planned to transplant a uterus into a transwoman.

“We have no plans at this stage but we’re obviously not excluding that as a possibility in the future,” she said.

Dr Rebecca Dean, is there anything, anything at all that you would not obviously exclude as a possibility?

Would the man with the womb use his sperm to fertilise the donated egg placed within him? Would not that make him both the father and the mother of the baby?

And what about an industry that encourages gender-confused girls to have their wombs surgically removed with the promise of becoming a man, so that those discarded wombs can be recycled for men banking on becoming women?

Dr Dean? Is there any point at which you and your colleagues might be tempted to say “enough”?

Women donating their wombs to gender-confused men.

Men carrying their own babies to term.

Synthetic embryos without father or mother.

Scientists now operate by a single ethic: If it can be done, it will be done.

Just ask the wiz kids in Wuhan.
