OMG coercive transhumanism?

Jul 06, 2010 11:53

(the title of this entry is heavily sarcasticated)

I sincerely hope everybody picked up the flap about medicine to prevent lesbian babies, yes? It has all the necessary elements of a beautiful internet horror show- dishonest doctors experimenting on pregnant women, babies with ambiguous gender, and a medical plot to enforce stepford wives... pure ( Read more... )

i read about this shitbag. i really get to sleep at night on the hope that this dr. new and her prognoses go the way of the lobotomy and are remembered for the aberration upon medicine that they are. but i guess i'm just some dumb commie hippie that thinks technological enhancement has a point of diminishing return.

wouldn't a person have to admit that they were capable of producing a queer to ask the doctor for a prescription for this? isn't that admitting defeat? can you imagine that prenatal care visit?

doctor, my first daughter is kinda assertive, should i be worried about CAH?

maybe, let me write you a prescription for this anti-inflamatory steroid.

i don't know, stranger things have been prescribed.

but seriously, where does she get off? what does she have drug stock or something? i mean she comes off like an undercover queer operative trying to make homophobes seem like assholes.

how mainstream would you say her views are among doctors?

Oh right, how about it I quit ranting and answer your question? (your comment didn't provoke all the yelling in my last response, by the way, I just carry that around with me...)

> how mainstream would you say her views are among doctors?

I think most doctors would stay way the hell away from her ideas, actually. Doctors like to avoid prenatal medicine, pediatrics, gender- or genital-related ANYTHING, and gayness. Everything she's saying reads to a doctor like the world's worst lawsuit, just waiting to happen, especially after this Time magazine flap. That's my analysis anyway.
