But we can't make policies based on religion when religion means different things to different people. Which leaves science. The science of reproduction is what it is. Conception is conception. You can decide the ethical value that has for you, based on your own relationship with God…but the policies around basic human rights with regard to reproduction shouldn't be up for interpretation.
~ Jodi Picoult
According to natural selection, bees should not exist. Although workers construct the comb, tend to the queen, and feed the larvae, they're sterile themselves, and don't pass those productive genes to the next generation. Plus, stinging is suicide, and passing on a suicide gene makes no biological sense. And yet, the species has been around for a hundred million years. Why? A biologist will say it's because of group selection.
~ Jodi Picoult
I'm telling you, if aliens landed on earth today and took a good hard look at why babies get born, they'd conclude that most people have children by accident, or because they drink too much on a certain night, or because birth control isn't one hundred percent, or for a thousand other reasons that really aren't very flattering.
~ Jodi Picoult

When Jesus developed leaders, He often said, "Follow this example," as in communion, or, "Teach and baptize like this," as in the Great Commission. If Jesus reproduced leaders after His "own kind," don't you think we will too?
~ Unknown
When God created the earth, He made it so that everything that was created would reproduce after its own kind. He did this for plants, animals, and leaders. As leaders, we reproduce leaders in a similar vein as ourselves, so it makes sense that Jesus would focus on the heart.
~ Unknown
and comparison, he'd taught me how to identify a reproduction: by wear that was too even (antiques were always worn asymmetrically); by edges that were machine-cut instead of hand-planed (a sensitive fingertip could feel a machine edge, even in poor light);
~ Donna Tartt
The writhing loathsomeness of the biological order. Old age, sickness, death. No escape for anyone. Even the beautiful ones were like soft fruit about to spoil. And yet somehow people still kept fucking and breeding and popping out new fodder for the grave, producing more and more new beings to suffer like this was some kind of redemptive, or good, or even somehow morally admirable thing: dragging more innocent creatures into the lose-lose game.
~ Donna Tartt
