During a recent webinar on surrogacy, Executive Director @kal_fell was interrupted and sexually harassed. What kind of degenerate tries to humiliate a woman as she is talking about the inherent dignity and human rights of women and children?

Egg donation is marketed as simple and risk-free. Actually, it carries serious risks, and Maggie's story of ovarian torsion, almost losing her ovaries, and aggressive cancer, should be required viewing for young women influenced by Big Fertility ads.

Egg donation is not simply helping someone build a family. It involves extracting eggs from a woman’s body, creating genetic children who may never know her, and allowing the fertility industry to profit from separating children from their biological origins.

Egg donation is often described as donating cells. But eggs create genetic children. A woman who provides eggs may become the biological mother of children she never knows. And those children may spend their lives wondering about their origins, ancestry, siblings, medical history, and identity. Biology is not everything. But it is not nothing. Children deserve the truth about where they come from.

CBC is not against technology. We are against any vision of technology that forgets the human person. Technology should heal, assist, protect, and serve. It should not redefine human worth. It should not turn children into products. It should not treat disability as failure. It should not teach us to despise the body. It should not replace dignity with optimization. Human beings are not machines to be upgraded.

Transhumanism is already shaping the way our culture thinks about reproduction. Embryos are screened. Traits are selected. Disabilities are targeted. Artificial wombs are imagined. Children are increasingly treated as products of design. CBC stands against any vision of the future that makes a child’s welcome depend on optimization. Children are not upgrades. They are human beings.

Transhumanism divorces biology from reality. More from our interview with @bjportraits
