Is, "Because We Can", a Good Reason?

Just Because We can do Something, Does Not Mean We Should

I'm all for science and technology, but sometimes we need to ask, "Just because we can do xxxxxxxx, does not mean we should".

  1. Recently a woman gave birth after she underwent a womb transplant. I'm sure this was exciting for the mother, father, family, and doctors, but I wouldn't call it science, technology, lifesaving, or useful. It was a mechanical process with a little bit of chemistry to keep her body from rejecting the foreign object (another person's womb). 
  2. Male or Female Infertility - this opinion will not go over well, but... Unless the infertility was caused by physical trauma, the reason someone is infertile is a genetic defect. While I have great compassion for the infertile person, (here we go) artificially creating a person passes the defective genes into the human gene pool. And (more facts) ... weakens the human gene pool. It's called Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest. With the number of adoptable children throughout the world, I don't think infertility is the problem
