Is It Immoral for Men to Gestate? Transgendered Women?

Well damn, we had to know it was coming. It's happened a little earlier than I would have expected. Morally, I'm personally ambivalent. I think maybe this falls into the category of 'just because I can jump off a cliff naked, I still don't think I'll do it'.

    I think author Randy Gage (a self identified objectivist) has the "go to" answer for this. In several of his books he states "If you ask the wrong questions, the answers are irrelevant". The morality of the topic seems irrelevant. If the technology is there to make it possible, it will be offered as service somewhere. While this country or another might enact legislation against it, (yay! More legislation! Statism continues to grow) another country may decide that they can corner the market on it. Ordinarily, I'd follow up this type of discussion with "what's the better question". In this case, I'm at a loss. I got nothin!

      I think I'll pass. That last son, she almost squeezed my hand flat and wouldn't let me sneak out of the room to get some coffee. I had to go through the entire thing--it was just so unfair, and I've never had such pain. LOL.
