Synthetic children...

[Park Life 71]

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are both gay and were previously a couple. Their controversial comments were made during an interview with Italian magazine Panorama, in which Dolce said: “I am not convinced by those I call children of chemicals, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalogue … psychiatrists are not ready to confront the effects of this experimentation.”

His business partner Gabbana added: “The family is not a fad. In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging.”

 

Dolce added: “I’m Sicilian and I grew up in a traditional family, made up of a mother, a father and children. I am very well aware of the fact that there are other types of families and they are as legitimate as the one I’ve known. But in my personal experience, family had a different configuration. That is the place where I learnt the values of love and family.

 

This little discussion is a decade or two ahead of its time....

 

I totally support adopting by gay couples but am a little reticent about designer babies....
