Why, yes, he was
So by Republican logic that baby can vote
Nono, this baby can fuck (by republican logic)
Considering the guy leading the Republicans, I feel like they would say that about ALL babies.
This is actually a genius question. Technically would that mean that a premature baby would have to wait an extra few months after their birthday?
Nope. Of course not. Your age is a function of your birthdate. you're not a person before then.
I know what I said.
Baby in 2040 at age 15. “You mean I could have been born in 1995!? I could have at least enjoyed some of the early 2000s!
- The peak of our civilization.
Too bad those sliding phones never really caught on
They were actually produced and sold, but apparently the sliding mechanism would break with wear and tear.
fun fact, the years 1999, 2000, and 2001 were actually all the same year.
oldest baby: "I was totally born in the wrong generation."
Instead, she opted for "embryo adoption", which allowed her to have a say in the future parents - with the process overseen by a religious agency.
Nightlight Christian Adoptions took on the embryos and placed them with Lindsey and Tim Pierce.
They fitted Linda's criteria of a married, Caucasian Christian couple...
How lovely
Buying frozen babies, just as God intended.
Frozen can be fresher than “fresh” because it’s frozen at the optimal freshness rather than picked early and shipped, sitting on shelves for six months.
It’s also less expensive than using fresh babies for the blood sacrifice.
Yeah but you ever try to stab a frozen baby with a ritual knife? Such a pain.
Would you prefer they not make this logical compromise between their faith and people's needs?
Whose needs?
The needs of the faithful and women who need an abortion, would you prefer they acted hateful and deny these services or would you prefer them being willing to find a logical exception to the rules of their faith to help people in the modern age?
This article has literally nothing to do with abortion. This couple bought a leftover IVF embryo.
That embryo was "adopted" from the biological mother, who had kept it frozen since 1994, by Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio.
The adoptive mother Lindsey Pierce told Technology Review: "He is so chill."

Frozen in 1994? Surprised the headline wasn’t: “Millennials are Getting Born Later Than Any Generation in History”
Can you blame them, really? Looking at the state of gestures vaguely around...
This headline is absolutely perfect for this community.
There's an easy way to test her true age. Everybody knows the millenial can't resist the avocado toast.
I thought you were going to suggest cutting in half and Counting the rings.
Yet another good reason to bring back the guillotine
That's weird, I watched Children of Men last night
I watched that movie not knowing anything about it. When they start taking about the "youngest person on Earth" In the first scene, I thought it was a comedy 🤣
What the fuck that's so creepy
hey, this is the plot of Children of Men...
From the makers of Oldboy (2013) comes... Oldbaby.
They’ll do anything to not take care of the kids already here that need parents and support.
There's a lot of heavy lifting by a lot of words in there. Saying the baby has a "biological sister" is at best a half truth and more like a total falsehood. I have a half sister out there somewhere that was adopted away that I've never met. And that's far more close than this scenario.
Personally, I disagree. The baby's bio sister is, literally, a biological sister whose DNA comes from the same parents.
Only the egg. And that egg went in a different mother, and was inseminated by a different father. I'm not a biologist but I feel like the mother who bore the baby also contributed some amount of DNA. It's like when someone gets a heart or liver transplant, they often change their personality a bit. I read about a guy who got a heart transplant from a guy who died rock climbing, and suddenly got big into fitness, art and his taste in music changed.
Actually, no, the bio soster shares the same biological father. This was an embryo adoption, not IVF
Ohhhh ok, my bad. I must've misread some of that after being grossed out by the whole religious bullshit being a part of it.
Oh I thought this was another article about that big orange crybaby in Moronica.
