Yes that's odd. It should be at prevailing wage rates

1. Don't volunteer (make them pay for every bit of effort)
2. Don't apologise (never admit mistakes in writing)
3. Don't resign (they have to fire you)
4. Always maximise outside options and minimise local effort

reproductive decisions are joint up to the point of fertilising the egg. After that point, I think that it is reasonable to hold the blanket belief that the woman is the residual claimant of all remaining reproductive aspects.

He chose to pay child care when he fertilised the egg. It's like signing a contract.

The matter would have been entirely different had unfertilised eggs and his sperm been frozen separately.

Societies that allow abortion agree with me. Societies that don't, don't agree with me.

women own embryos, and lose ownership when they become life.

men own their sperm, and lose ownership when it fertilises an embryo

simple, no?

because he has no use for it without her and she has use for it without him.

But all in all, because women own their bodies exclusively.

Doesn't makes sense to be honest.

Let's take an extreme hypothetical. Sometime in the future an egg is fertilised outside a woman's body and grows for 8 1/2 months in a "test-tube" following the kind of growth patterns we know happens in the womb.

Someone comes along and chucks the tube in a bin killing the foetus. Should we charge him with murder. My answer is yes sure.

Similarly, the frozen fertilised egg in the fridge is as much a part of the woman's body as if it were in her womb. She can do as she pleases with it. It's her body and no one else's

Ethically eggs whether fertilised or unfertilised whether in the woman or outside is part of the woman's body. She has exclusive rights to do as she pleases with them regardless of the desires and opinion of the man who fertilised the eggs or paid to remove and incubate the eggs.

So the woman should equal able to implant, store, or toss the eggs into a bin. Just as she has the moral right when they are inside her to do as she pleases with the eggs (the pill, abort). It's her body regardless of any scientific innovation allowing part of her body to survive for brief periods in a test-tube in a fridge.

Men's rights to sperm really never plays a role here.

You're right, on second thought.

Basically, the fertilised egg ought to be seen as being part of the woman's body if it's inside the womb or outside. So it's her choice to do whatever she wants with it. The woman owns it.

intellectual property. Two artists record song but don't release it. They split, who owns the tune?
