Italy's right-wing government is attacking same-sex couples by persecuting their children — refusing to register them as citizens. That is likely to cause them many problems throughout their lives.

IVF should not be allowed for anyone. There is nothing immoral about it, but we still need to curb the human population. If you want to raise a child but cannot biologically make one, what you should do, to help civilization survive, is to adopt an already-living child — not arrange for an additional child to be born for you.

That may change some day. If we get down to only one billion human beings, and there is no danger of further global heating, perhaps then we should encourage people to have somewhat more children so as to stabilize the population.
