Well, I'm calling BS on this whole idea. I've been talking into my wife's right ear every night for 16 years (she sleeps to my left) and it almost NEVER WORKS. Tag this junkscience please.
"How much more freedom do we have to lose before we do something about it?"
As long as people have enough to eat and are sufficiently entertained they will willingly relinquish freedom. Fast food restaurants and television are killing this country.
It would probably feel less like "your" baby if you never carried it (no uterus of my own, so I can't say for sure).
You bring up an interesting point. How does one measure the depth of feeling a parent has towards its child? If we toss out the outliers (e.g., monsters who kill their own children, etc.) can we get an accurate range of emotional bonding strength? I don't know if we could or not, but here is my personal experience...
Before I was a parent, I thought I had a pretty good handle on what love felt like through my experiences with family, friends, and significant others. I was completely off base. There is no way to describe the depth of the emotional bond I have with my children even though I did not carry them (no uterus of my own either).
Does anyone on/. know anyone whose children were carried by surrogates? If so, let's ask those mothers if they feel any less connected to their children for not having carried them.
No offense, but how can we take your argument seriously when you are completely inflexible in your basis for the argument? For all we know, the "laws" of thermodynamics ARE wrong but just coincidently work in instances that we are currently able to observe and measure. The same could very well be true for a perpetual motion machine (such a thing could exist and we just haven't found it yet.)
While I tend to agree with what you have stated, I find it difficult to support anyone with such an absolutist perspective particularly regarding any scientific topic.

Not necessarily. I'm sure you've noticed the heat produced when you furiously rub your pecker, but have you ever seen it glow?
I learned that you NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try to put a Portable Hole into a Bag of Holding...
I put the numbers into OO Spreadsheet as A1:A7, and applied the following: =((ROUNDDOWN((A1+A2)/A3)+A4-(ROUNDUP((A5*A6)/A7))+A1))
It's everywhere!
Best. FTFY. EVER.
Exactly, like posting a question to slashdot.
I know, I know, it's cheap, but c'mon, I really need some advice here...
it looks like ass on Firefox in Fedora and Ubuntu
I am not a religious person, but AMEN TO THAT.

Is that what happened to the dinosaurs?

"Jack Bauer Likes Surveillance Cameras." Well, duh.
No, they were the two kids that got eaten in the gingerbread house. Or were they UN inspectors? Too early...
Often many usless machine's are made before one makes a usueful one.
In my family, I called them "older sisters."
I don't think we need a prefix at all. And, yes, my friend, I have had a very tough week indeed. :)
I'm laying off the CLI for a while. I just read your comment and wondered what the hell a "misty ping" was.
Can we please stop with the "Cyber-" every damn thing?
Why couldn't we double the lithium and store it in some sort of uniform structure, like a crystal...hmmm...
So are we going to start prosecuting auto makers for providing get-away vehicles to criminals?
You misspelled "Douche" :)

Big. Fucking. Deal.

Does anyone on
"doing the rumba"? I sincerely hope you are talking about the dance and haven't just misspelled "roomba"...
Ah, yes, good point. I love the Trappist beers by Chimay and Orval.
Belgium, eh? LOVE your waffles.
