Israel Approves Egg Donation Between Lesbian Couples

If anyone needed proof of Israel’s advancements on gay and lesbian legislation, the Attorney General of Israel, Menachem Mazuz, decided this week to allow lesbian couples to donate eggs removed during fertility treatments to their partners.
Up until now, eggs were only allowed for anonymous donation between donors and recipients. Attorney Mazuz’s decision lifts this ban and allows lesbian couples who undergo fertility treatment to artificially inseminate and implant their partners’ eggs.
While this decision doesn’t entail that all lesbian women can now donate eggs, only those who went through fertilization treatments may do so. Attorney Mazuz has stated that he urges the Israeli parliament to compose a new egg donation bill that will close the loopholes that are still currently open.

@robert b, first, it’s spelled “chosen,” not “choosen.” second, the shame ought to be on you for judging.

I think it’s sweet. Dads these days are totally over rated these days. Children with two moms are extra blessed. So I don’t understand those who say shame on Israel and make judgments on people with different sexual preferences. It’s not like they obey every law-it’s more like selective obedience. G-d loves lesbians too. (BTW-Im not one).

Define what it means to play God is one of most ignorant thing a person can try to do. If you believe God created man, thus giving him the ability to perform
such a procedure AND said be fruitful and multiply, how could you call this “playing God.” Maybe it IS God’s will.
Well I am also sure the Crusades, the Spanish conquests, and the Colonization of Africa were all done under the fact that they were God’s will. So my point is that the playing God argument is useless. And avoid the plural of “you” as “you’s” cause it is also not God’s will to have a you plural pronoun.
One love.
