Scientists in Melbourne have made a major scientific breakthrough in the field of embryology after creating a human embryo without an egg or sperm, leading to serious ethical questions.
Researchers were able to develop artificial human embryos with ordinary human skin cells which were reprogrammed to imitate the first few days of life.
The discovery was made by accident and researchers from Monash University have taken pains to say they have not created life.

Maybe if we fixed the anchor baby loophole we'd not have that problem.
You can't tell me we're hard up for excess population

But when you say "our wombs" is that supposed to imply that America somehow "owns" the wombs of all its women? Odd phrasing, that.

I'm not going to mince words. I think American women that have Chinese babies (for surrogacy) are traitors.
I am ethnically part Asian, but I am 100% American.
I am not ashamed to say 100% of me is American, including my womb.
If a woman wants to have Chinese babies so badly for money, they should go do it in China, period.

People can do whatever they want with their wombs, but when they expect me to pay for these anchor/surrogate children that's another story.

You just said anchor baby is a different issue on page 1 and also, why would you be paying for anything?

There is only one reason they are having Americans as their surrogates. It’s so their children can have full citizenships and benefits.
People understand that issue with anchor babies, which is why I used it. Unlike anchor babies these babies have a much more firm legal standing as citizens.
Anchor baby is a different issue, it is the actual biological mother giving birth in this country.

So does every other child born in the US but you are not complaining about having to pay for them.

But you didn't "use" it, you said it was different.

Every other child in the US doesn’t high tail it out of the country.
Did the parents use any of the money left over from buying stuff to pay medical bills or did the American tax payer do that?
