Response to "Your Gamete, Myself."

This article was very interesting to me. It showed two possibilities families have to have children, if they are unable to conceive their own. Many women, or men, have complications and are left wondering if they will ever be able to start their own family. These decisions include adoption or in vitro fertilization. I think that it is all up to the family, and really I don't think I could say which I would choose because I feel like you need to be in the situation to know what's right.

I think, though, that many couples look for details in families from which they'll adopt from or whatnot, that are completely unnecessary. Things such as hair color, skin color, and eye color are considered, but I don't think that those things should even matter. What matters is that these couples will be able to have a family, when before they were unable to do so. They should feel blessed to have someone that can be theirs to begin with.
