Babies born in test tubes!

I don't think so.
Kids are blessings of God. If men have defects, they can't give birth to a new generation. That doesn't mean they don't deserve the presence and love and happiness of kids....
A hospital at Kodungallur, Kerala, most recently completed 25,000 test tube babies. It's bit expensive....may cost more than 8-10 lakhs or more. Yet they gave happiness to many parents and their families........

@Asha...
Hoping you won't mind correcting this thread title.

Even I don't think this is bad if we can make someone happy by the technology . :blink:

That is why we call technology can be bad or good depending on how we use it. :blink:

It is true that this field has provided immense happiness to many but what do you think about manipulating the creations of God, cloning of animals for our benefits? Is it right to play God?

But asha, I can't approve cloning.
Such experiments can give birth to unusual births.
I once read somewhere, many human experiments have paved way to the birth of new micro organisms.......which later killed man kind through diseases.......

The clones can enter the food chains in the nature and disrupt the balance too.

Medical Science is to solve our problems and our defects too. When it's used for treating many diseases, why can't it be used for babies too??
If someone say, it's against God's wishes, why are we using Medical science for treating diseases?? When God gives diseases to persons to die, why are doctors helping them??? Isn't it against God's will? Science has brought down death rates considerably and life span of man has increased also. If someone raise questions against test tube babies, I will ask them, Is it against God's will to cure patients using medical facilities and give him another life?

Cloning involves a lot of risks. I will state a few of them -

It has a high failure rate.
The clones are generally not competitive enough as compared to natural beings, they are usually weaker.
They may express abnormally. That is for example if a sheep is cloned it may not have the characteristic of producing wool.

How do you know this?. :blink:

Medical science still need to be developed to have better clones what I feel is cloning would be bad for this world as in that case man would become like a machine. :)

I think that we should not disturb nature. Births and deaths should be natural. Science is okay as long as this helps in improving things. Bit it is disastrous to replace or change the natural process.

Yes like Nuclear energy when it is used for Nuclear weapons it is disastrous. :blink:

But I think what will be the benefits if tomorrow we invent a way to make successful clones. :blink:

I heard that the babies born through test tubes won't have any kind of feelings as we have towards our parents

I am a biotechnology student and we are very much concerned with the ethics associated with the field. I posted this thread as I wanted to know what people think about the field and the breakthroughs it has bought about. :dry:

Hahaha...from where you heard it. :woohoo:

BTW whatever you heard about test tube babies is wrong they are like normal babies moreover the feelings they develop when they grow up has nothing to do with the method they were born. :)

Biotech is a very vast subject and one can never comment before the actual thing happened it was we speculated what will happen to clones.There is no certainity that clones will be inferior to the actual human being they may be better than us but still scientists are working on it. :)

Due to decreasing the power in them they are showing intrest towards the test tube babies which are at high cost.

No its not true. Test tube babies are as successful in living as normal human beings. :) Its a wild adopted practice now. :)

I didn't get you exactly. :unsure: Having a test tube baby may be costly but the technique has proved to be a boom for mankind. :)

Ha this also has many disadvantages also. Even a girl who is not married also can have a test tube baby.

And what is the problem if unmarried girls want to have babies through test tube procedures. I see no harm in it. :unsure:
