Same Sex Pregnancies,....Why Not?

Slowly, but surely we are letting the walls down. State-by-state same sex couples are making headway, and for all intent and purposes, been living in happiness for years anyways.

We all want equal rights. What my opinion is on the whole matter is irrelevant, I want to talk science. We were discussing the human zygote and it's workings in my Biology class, until I stopped my Professor and asked, "If the whole point of fertilizing the zygote is based on giving it both pairs of genes from the parents, wouldn't it be possible for same sex couples to have children?"

Dead silence, and some people in the front row turn and look at me.

My Professor says in her thick Italian accent, "What do you ask?"

Beo - "Couldn't you inject a zygote with the genes of either two men, or two women and it would be possible for the egg to determine what it wants to be from the dormant X or Y genes provided by the couples mothers and fathers. There would have to be a surrogate mother in the case of two men, but the same sex females could actually get to decide who gets to be pregnant with their child, right?

Professor - "No, this would be unethical. And there could be unforeseen chances of XXY, or XYY and other unwanted genetic abnormalities." Meaning hermaphrodites and such.

Beo - "Well that occurs anyways. Who's to say it wouldn't work out?"

Professor, getting aggravated - "No, this would be unethical. We don't do these things."

Beo - "I'm just saying, it's possible right? Then that would tear down the whole religious belief that homosexuality is immoral, because it's not possible to conceive with same sex couples."

Professor, ready to move on - "No, the idea is immoral in it's own right, and anyone who tried to do it should be arrested." The whole class chuckles. So do I.

She moves on to talk about gene discrepancies and deletions that occur naturally and unnaturally, like in the case of Amish communities. I couldn't hold back, and I hit her with my Global Inbreeding Scenario, and said that it has to be an eventuality that we will all be related at some point. She reiterated how the occurrence of chiasma and recombinant DNA stops these things from happening, which I understood, but I asked what about the Amish communities. They have recombinant DNA, and I understood that the group was a lot closer knit than the entire globe, but aren't we all just one big Amish community in a broader sense?

The class is just staring at me. It's not uncomfortable though, because I'm friendly with everyone in the class. I just hope they don't think I'm trying to be cool, and act like I'm deep. I honestly just have questions, and she's a professor.

The professor laughs and points at me, "You are crazy, but you have good thoughts and questions. I don't know what to tell you. In a sense you are right, I guess it could be possible given enough time. But I think we are going to be alright, and we won't have to worry about it."

People are mocking me as we go to walk out of the classroom, and the Professor points at me on the way out and calls me crazy again.

On the way out of the school I joke with fellow student Declum (the guy who stutters). "Hey, maybe by allowing same sex couples to have children we could increase our time before inbreeding occurs. They would add even newer variants of recombinant DNA and the like, right?"

"Yo-You-You're and idiot.", Declum says.
