You’re being rude for no reason

I think it’s a strange position to take that giving birth is like handling radioactive material.

What do you think about “altruistic surrogacy”, mentioned in the article? Presumably if someone is volunteering that avoids the exploitation angle?

Approaching from another angle, do you think sex work should be legal? It’s another area where exploitation and abuse are a concern. But if we expect someone can earn money using their body in one area (sex work, or even just physical labor) then why should it be illegal to earn money by carrying a baby to term? Exploitation should be made illegal, not the act itself.

Lastly, my understanding is that surrogacy is more often used when a woman is unable to carry the baby, than when a man is unable to impregnate.

I hear you that rich people are selfish and causing any number of problems. That said, I think your approach misses the suffering of many normal people who want to raise a child and would be unable to otherwise.

Even if this was an activity that someone thinks should be restricted, should it be punishable with jail time? I don’t think so. The law in Italy seems clearly designed to target LGBT people.

I don’t know whether Gulen was good or bad, but I do remember thinking it was funny when Erdogan was denouncing him after the coup attempt and wouldn’t say his name, instead the release said something like “the Turkish people don’t take orders from Allentown” like it was a foreign capital.

Cool!

Whenever I see something described as fully 3D printed I can’t help but immediately identify all the parts that aren’t 3D printed…

Idiots

I appreciate that this seems to be an actually informed opinion of international law, rather than random internet commenters asserting it is or isn’t a crime.

Yeah, if anything he’s probably feeling untouchable because he beat an impeachment last year.

True, but the article says this like a liquid

That’s pretty cool. They say it produces good pork, I wonder how the pigs feel about it vs other feed.

I’ll tell them

Is there any religious prohibition against enclosing the whole thing? Just make everything indoors, problem solved

Sorry to further bum but this article says his dog was lingering around the neighbors house after the kidnapping so it’s suspected the neighbor killed the dog. It was found poisoned in front of their house.

This article says the only reason the kidnapper’s family member snitched was because of an inheritance dispute.

This article appears to be from February 2024. I tried googling to see what’s the latest news related to the ICJ, I see that Egypt wants to join South Africa’s case against Israel: https://www.commondreams.org/news/egypt-icj-israel

I thought “what a refreshing change of pace, a woman murderer”

Dad

Aww I liked them both. What was wrong with the sequel?

Yes but did you know the sequel was based on true events

Just because prostitution isn’t new doesn’t mean there isn’t news about where and how it’s practiced, or that we shouldn’t care about it.

I guess that’s good? They’re saying they won’t be in full swing until 2030. I know, “best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, second best is now” but just seems given the situation there has to be a way to speed things up
