OK now gang... My advice to Aurora was entirely serious. But Aurora the best way to work out if you should go ahead with your idea is to imagine you are the child in 15 years time asking you where and why you had her/him. If you would be ok with hearing the reasons you give and explaining the absence of partner then go ahead. In case it was not clear, my posts in regards to names for a potential site were firmly tongue in cheek. Luna, I thought you were joking about making a site, apologies if that was not apparent. Suggest you kill that Google thread asap and make sure there's nothing rl in there. If you are serious about making a website then suggest researching legal adoption/sponsoring websites and how the process works, then see if you can grab clients through site rebuilds/features/hosting and go from there etc. Do not get yourself into trouble. regards parker

Hi Turncoat She means me. What you and most other sociopaths fail to realize is that as science improves and dna is unraveled, humans will inevitably start genetically tweaking ourselves and removing things that are thought to be faulty. It's already happening now with pregnancy tests for Down Syndrome. What do think will happen when they work out the marker for sociopathy and society views it as an aberration, a mistake? No more sociopaths. I don't think sociopaths are a mistake, I don't think any potential offspring you, or I, or any sociopath has are a mistake. Big picture gang, big picture. Regards parker

I would first ask: why do you want a child? are you romantasizing the concept? do you realise the limitations having one will impose on you? have you already lived the obligatory wild life stage we all go through?

You say you're hot and cute and all and you've only been with one guy? do you mean relationship or sex?

You say your work is well paying and freelance yet you mentioned no specific skills or qualities other than your attractiveness... are you talking about something in the sex industry?

 WombWorks.com . Luna, you shouldn't expect people to understand when you bring up your contribution to socioland. Also, the almighty Google might have A.I. filtering out people's ideas on their sites. If they like your idea, nothing will stop them from getting it done themselves, then they become the central hub for the worlds adoption/artificial incemination.

 This whole concept is redundant when sperm banks are already in place. Further, it's selfish to basically design the perfect child for you as a parent when there are already so many unwanted children in the world. There's no amount of transcendence that could help me see this as anything other than disgusting.

I'm glad u asked, because I want to take the time to properly analyze the desire myself before i actually commit 100% to going thru w it. Basically, i jus have a biological urge to reproduce, its as simple as that. In early June the desire just struck me and I can't get it out of my head, it's all i think about. BUT, I know myself very well now. If this had happened when I was 18, the younger, more impulsive me might have gone out and got pregnant and thought about the consequences later. I know now that I have a tendency to take up projects and then lose intereste and abandon them, so I'm waiting for a few months to check and see if this is a short term thing or something that has changed about me and does not go away. Does this make any sense? It's like getting a tattoo. I was going to post on the other thread that I love tattoos but haven't committed to having one yet because I go thru different personas so quickly that there is nothing that would fit permanently. But then I am not getting younger. Maybe it is time to make a decision about who i permanently want to be. I don't' want to drift forever, and something like a child could be the thing that forces me to settle down and decide on a life plan. I just need to find a way to do that w/o ending up like Tk. (sorry for lack of paragraphs and txt spk, am on my phone n will edit later).

You say you're hot and cute and all and you've only been with one guy? do you mean relationship or sex?

Both. We were together since our teens. I know it's surprising in this day and age, but it is a testament to what a great guy he was that he kept me satisfied and I never felt like I was missing out on anything. Altho I think maybe I am not a particularly sexually curious person, perhaps that is a side of my personality I have yet to explore. And yes, I am aware that the whole wanting a baby thing could be a bad reaction to the break up, which is why I am planning to wait for some months and analyze my desires more. 

You say your work is well paying and freelance yet you mentioned no specific skills or qualities other than your attractiveness... are you talking about something in the sex industry?

Lol. I also said it was geeky duh... I have plenty of skills and qualities, but thats not really relevant to what i was posting. And call me paranoid, but there is only a certain amount of info I want to say here.

Yes, I can see how being content with life, not having to work like a slave and having all that extra freedom I have wouldn't appeal to you.

You clearly enjoy being a slave to your job and, no doubt, a slave to others as well. Considering how indecisive you are, it's obvious you're also submissive and insecure.

Yeah... You and I are very different people. Believe me, darlin', I'm glad I'm not like you either.

 You do make an interesting point parker. You see, i know it is such an unpopular opinion that it will never be understood by society (but if you can't post it here where can you?), but I do believe in eugenics. Not in a nazi way, it's not about race or anything, I just think that pretty much all our characteristics, from intelligence to personality, are derived from genetics, and that plays a lot stronger impact than the environment in which we are raised. 

Personally I don't have a moral problem w going the next step and choosing characteristics for my kids. I know it is something that society has a strong reaction to, but I just don't understand why it is an issue. I think maybe it will never be done because it is considered so controversial, but maybe that is the way that humanity was supposed to go. I have read that humans are no longer evolving; we have such comfortable lives that someone who is physically and mentally weak, who would have been killed off in natural selection if we lived like animals, can survive and reproduce. Perhaps that means that humanity could even be regressing. If we one day had the technology to manipulate or choose genetics then it could be the answer to that problem. And why not push humanity and see how far it can go? Maybe we are meant to be greater than we are currently. 

But you raise a good problem in that society may not agree on what characteristics are desirable or not. Most people would choose not to have a sociopath child whereas maybe some people on here would disagree. Anyway, we are in the realms of science fiction now. Perhaps our grandchildren will debate these issues more seriously, but I doubt anything like this will happen in our lifetimes.
