Will there be children with no parent named on their certificate ( sperm donor, egg donor & surrogate mother)? I love the idea of the second part of the birth certificate stating whether the conception was natural........................ OK - won't go there ;-) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - where there are no natural births - everyone is a test tube baby. It's not far away now................
