Nârwen points us to a thing in the Washington Post about a recent development in stem cell research. According to the Post, this technique could, in theory, allow the manufacture of a child whose parents are two men or two women. In passing, it's interesting to note that the Post advertises this technique as one of special interest to "gay men."
Presuming that the product of such a manufacturing process were fully human, physically healthy and capable of reproduction, here's a question for parents: should your child marry one of these products (assuming that a full and valid marriage is intended, complete with ordinary sexual reproduction)? Whether yes or no, on what do you base your answer?

(Pro-life people have had to struggle with those who argue that a child conceived by rape or incest is somehow 'tainted' and will necessarily grow up into some type of monster- similar thing.)
Of course, the person's background might be a problem- for example, if the prospective husband or wife was 'manufactured' for a homosexual 'couple' and raised by them, they might have serious psychological impediments...
By 'they', I meant 'he or she'... grrr.. I hate it when I do that !
