How Obergefell Harmed Children
Marriage, as I argued, has always served a vital function: binding children to their biological mothers and fathers whenever possible. The government’s interest in marriage has never been about adult companionship. That is because the state generally has no interest in regulating when human relationships begin or end, whether that be a friendship or a romantic partnership. Marriage is the exception.

Chinese scientists create fertile mice with two ‘fathers’
Researchers in China have created mice with two male ‘parents’ – sparking fears of ‘social engineering’ aimed at redefining parenthood and weakening the natural family structure. Despite the technical milestone, experts caution that applying such methods to humans is fraught with ethical and biological complications. Christophe Galichet of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre warned that “it is unthinkable to translate it to humans due to the large number of eggs required, the high number of surrogate women needed and the low success rate.”
