Time ,my diety and challenge of technology



The explosion of information technology has reduced the the distance between space and time .Human intelligence has now stepped to challenge  and capture  Time (my Deity)  which I think  crossing beyond the limit. Perhaps , this is why The Bible did not allow Adam to touch the Tree of Wisdom  to save us  from nearing the dooms Day.

Back to last ten years I first heard of vitro fertilization.I guessed that it might be a treatment for the barren women to conceive baby..... a research based on social welfare norm.

Recently I read an article and came to know that it is a process of egg-freezing.Women will freeze their  egg : a fragile bud of human potential, to save their youth and fertility for future so that women can become mother at later age at their own will.
      Later motherhood is going to become 'norm 'of coming new age'.  A landmark for a giant leap of feminist's movement!
   Isn't this egg-freezing promises to challenge the problem of biological clock............the last weapon against nature to end up sexual revolution since the invention of birth-control pill  ? Did  the feminists like Betty Fredan or Gloria Steinam imagined such type of freedom women  would won within   the span of 50 years?
   Freezing,women are told, is a fountain of youth which means capturing & captivating time. Perhaps,  we are nearing the Dooms-Day .
                In Old Testament  It is often mentioned  about  woman to ask "let us take seed from...........
Abraham"s first wife Sarai was barren and gave  her slave-maid Hagger  to Abraham to bear child for him . But at the age of 90. she became  pregnant . Was it  in those ancient age  also bio-science was so advanced to preserve and apply"seed" which is now known as" frozen egg"?
     Within one or two decades ,perhaps in most advanced countries, women at late age might be starting to give birth to their children.

 What these  newborn  sets of poor babies will call their biological mother ? Mom or directly  promoted to grand ma?   who will bring up them?These grandma cum mom may be too feeble  to  take proper care.
                 Probably  energetic  young women  will be recruited as foster or proxy- mother! Provision of new jobs  for women; Not bad.!! Print this post
