thanks for that explanation. I can understand why such a group would at least contemplate it.
my instinctive thought is to be sgainst it. I can frame reasons why, but I also disagree with the validity of those reasons.
Its a little frustrating, actually. I could bemoan the fact that society has put you in a place where artificial insemination seems to be a good option, but who is to say what the ideal method of procreation and child-rearing actually is?
I personally like the multigenerational family unit, clan or village, where children are raised by an entire extended family and community. that is pretty far from where most are at today.
I also think the nuclesr family unit (mother, father, one or more children) is very inadequate.
but that is pretty far from where this discussion started. :)
