emilywickersham I would have a girl, if only to counteract all the people who don't value girls. Female infants are often aborted or killed after birth in many parts of the world. Even in the United States, more people prefer a boy as you can see from the posts above. How sad...

emilywickersham I really hope you're wrong, but I don't know. How horrible to think that the more devoted people try to be the more they will suffer. I remember a very devout Catholic family in our town that had the most horrible things happen to them. The husband was...

emilywickersham I wrote a pro-choice article on Helium.com that has been very popular, in spite of the fact that it has a couple mispellings and typos. I think it makes some new arguments, and I'd like feedback on it. Here is the URL:...

Improving the gene pool - unethical?

Valce1 @Valce1 (173) • Canada 22 Sep 07

emilywickersham Your stance assumes that negative traits are found by themselves. In fact, many mentally ill people are also creative geniuses and contribute far more to the world that "normal" people. Who is to say that a retarded person might not also carry a gene that...

emilywickersham Sorry, but this just doesn't do it. Coming to God might stop people from hurting each other, but what about the suffering caused by "Acts of God?" Earthquakes, tornadoes and floods all cause horrible suffering, and affect the religious and the irreligious...
