But actually, when "parents" (or a man and a woman who are not even a couple) bring a child into the world which they cannot provide for with basic needs or even be there for, that is pretty 'life-threatening' to the child. How many illegitimate children would something like this prevent from being born? Probably a lot, but it's impossible to know I guess.
I don't believe that everyone is supposed to conceive at all times, or that all married couples are meant to have bio-children. But not only is all contraception short of sterilization imperfect (and even sterilizings sometimes fail, the body has a terrific instinct to heal itself), but relatively few people use protection properly, every single time. I think that with sex comes responsibility and in almost all cases, having it means accepting some risk of conceiving (and that abortion is NEVER an answer).
So what? This is another format which may be better.
I suppose. Messing with hormones is never to be taken lightly though--just ask the numerous women who have suffered life-threatening lung clots from The Pill. We don't know what kind of side effects the male pill will have down the road at this point.
Um, that's your advice I guess, but evidently there are additional options than just those two.
Of course. The best of these generally is probably a condom, but that's not perfect, and supposedly kills some sensation.
Also, a married couple can have sex with each other, and there is no reason why they can't.
I agree completely, I am convinced that the gift of marital love/intimacy is the highest good G-d has created short of unity with him, and in fact Christians believe (I know the Jewish view is different) that Song of Songs is G-d's instruction manual for wholesome sex.
If they can't have kids at that time, then birth control is a way to preserve a loving relationship and hopefully they can eventually have the resources to have a child later on.
I didn't disagree with that in principle. When I criticized the Vatican for compromising on its zero-contraception stance, it was
not because I am against contraception, but because it disgusted me that one of the world's biggest and most ancient religious institutions was willing to throw one of its core beliefs out the window in order to appease the fag lobby. I have
always held that non-abortive birth control is completely biblically permissible.
No need to "get snipped."
What if they have decided they aren't supposed to have, or have anymore, kids and are positive that this is the right choice for them?
I don't get it. You think condoms are ok, but not a new technology that might be more effective and easier ?
I didn't say it was not okay in terms of rightness/wrongness, just that it seems superfluous to me and we don't know what it will do to a man over the long term right now.
Ok dude, no one is saying you have to take this pill.
And I'm not.
There are plenty of Israeli scientists working on a cure for cancer. There are Israeli scientists in every field. It is no surprise that the Israeli scientists are also advancing every field, just as this particular discovery does.
