All new stories about the birth of children from star couples with the help of surrogate technologies occupy the first pages of secular chronicles.
And how many people, having used the procedure of in vitro fertilization (IVF), became parents, and you can't count. And I would be happy: medical technologies have advanced so far that science can not only get around the prohibition of nature on the procreation of a part of humanity, but also program the fate of a child in a test tube.
Indeed, even scientists do not deny that the date and time of conception largely determine the future of a person. But every medal has a flip side: children born with the help of modern technologies differ in a number of parameters from that part of the population that was conceived naturally. Some experts assure that a fundamentally new type of people has appeared on the planet. Is it too strong?
On the bright side
First, about the good. A leap in the development of science gives people the opportunity to have children, regardless of health, age and other contraindications. Moreover, new technologies are on the way, allowing to repair the DNA of parents using the genes of a third person, thereby excluding hereditary diseases in the child. And the very last touch: you can calculate the most successful time of conception - in a test tube it is elementary.
As you know, the idea of conceiving a person outside of sexual intercourse has excited the scientific world since time immemorial. In his treatise De Natura Rerum, Paracelsus wrote: "Human beings (homunculi) can be born without natural parents." To achieve this goal, according to his assurance, only an airtight bottle, horse manure and semen are required. After forty days, the contents of the test tube will acquire the shape and features of a human, and after another forty weeks, if you maintain a suitable temperature inside and regularly feed the creature with blood, a real living person will appear.
According to Paracelsus, "he can be raised and raised like any other child, until he gets older and gains intelligence." Legends about homunculi have excited the minds of all ages. It is from here that such tales as "Thumbelina" or "Thumbelina", where a married couple or a single woman cannot have children, take their roots until the sorcerer or witch gives them a seed.

And our "Snegurochka" - an ice daughter, who appeared out of nowhere at lonely old people - is all about the same. Fairy tales, however, in the consciousness of mankind, for a long time and firmly lived the conviction: the conception and birth of a person is a matter exclusively in the competence of the Almighty. But the person overcame this: in 2010, Robert Edwards received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the IVF method.
And the fantasy of people went further. If you can regulate the very moment of conception, why not program its time? After all, according to astrologers, a person's life is determined by only three dates. “This is conception, when the Moon, birth (Sun) and death (Saturn) patronize us,” explains the famous astrologer Alexander Zaraev. - The moon in this triad is extremely important. She controls many earthly processes, including female fertility and embryogenesis. This means that from the very conception we are all under the influence of cosmic factors."
Official science does not argue with the fact of the importance of the date of conception. “There is a real connection between the life potential of future living systems and the year and month of embryo formation,” says Eduard Kostetsky, head of the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology at the School of Natural Sciences of the Far Eastern Federal University, Professor, Doctor of Biological Sciences. - Living cells are liquid crystal complexes. They change their conformation under the influence of various factors, including such as temperature, electric, magnetic, electromagnetic radiation, force fields of outer space. This effect is most effectively manifested at the stage of embryo formation after fertilization and is characterized by a certain cyclicality associated with the constantly acting force fields of outer space.
The effectiveness of such fields is due to the location of matter in our Galaxy and, perhaps most strongly, of the planets of the Solar System. The liquid crystal structural skeleton of cells formed at the first stage becomes a matrix for further growth and development of organs and tissues, and as an initial matrix cannot be further changed. That is why the life potential of the future living system becomes largely dependent on the time when the embryo begins to form. Having guessed the best moment of conception, with the help of IVF, you can try to achieve the birth of uniquely healthy and developed children."
Astrologers emphasize that the most famous historical figures were conceived at the time of abnormally high peaks in the universal energy rhythm - this was facilitated by the unusual arrangement of the planets. So, when Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich left the bedchamber of his wife Natalya Kirillovna, the court astrologer congratulated him on the conception of the future great sovereign. The autocrat was amazed: was he not standing with a candle? No, the astrologer simply observed the arrangement of the stars and noticed their unusual arrangement that night.
So does all of the above mean that humanity has come to plan for the birth of ideal children? Oddly enough, the answer is no. For in this whole story one more component is not taken into account - the energetic essence of the unborn child. From the point of view of science, the component is insignificant, or rather, non-existent. But try to brush it off …
On the dark side
“It is believed that our spiritual essence is born to parents who love each other through their close proximity, and then, at conception, it receives the protection of the clan,” explains astrologer Igor Nikishin. - The energy of the biofields of a man and a woman at the moment of conception protects the light essence of their unborn child. That is why such relationships are sacred and sacred in all religious traditions."
Astrologers compare the very process of conception with the birth of a supernova: when a sperm combines with an egg, "counterclockwise twisting - like the rotation of the Earth" occurs, then penetration and division. This moment is the birth of our monad, which from the first days of its existence follows the call of the "cosmic beacon". First we choose life, then our parents, and finally we are born.
From the point of view of karmic astrology, all these things are absolutely immutable and given to us from above. Therefore, it is very important that a "Wi-Fi connection" is established between the child and the mother from the first days of its existence in the womb, when a woman knows better than doctors what worries her future baby. Such children are born healthy both physically and spiritually. When the connection of the sperm and the egg occurs “mechanically”, without the participation of the biofields of parents who love each other, and then the child is carried by a stranger - a surrogate mother, there is simply no connection with the parents.
“Yes, at the level of biochemistry and physiology, the issue of childlessness has been resolved,” says Nikishin. - The conception took place, the future organism began to grow and develop. But what kind of soul will dwell in him, what essence will come into our world, is unknown. " Avestan astrology considers it proved that spiritual "traumas" - the murder of their descendants or ancestors, incest and same-sex relationships as a violation of the natural path of evolutionary development - make people sterile. Information about sin-de encoded genes, passed on to offspring, and sooner or later the "infected" ancestral branch was cut off.
And no matter how critical we are of such karmic theories, for centuries a natural "embargo" incomprehensible to us existed and operated on the production of offspring in some people. Doctors say that even now completely healthy couples often cannot have children and there is no explanation for this. Even IVF does not help someone.
However, modern technologies are helping most of the infertile individuals to solve this problem. “We are seeing a trend where assistive technologies are becoming fashionable, becoming prestigious. But we lose sight of the fact that when a child is conceived artificially, the embryo receives no energy protection from either the mother or the father. This potentially weak, weak-willed creature, which in the future will be a lot and hard to get sick, is unlikely to be able to have children of its own, and in general it will be very difficult for such a defenseless person to live,”says Zaraev.
Others
Today, more than four million people live on Earth, conceived with the help of assisted reproductive technologies. Their number is increasing day by day. Can we talk about a whole artificially derived subethnos? According to the astrologer Igor Nikishin, “artificial people” differ from us not only physically, but above all morally and spiritually. Are they worse than all others or better? It is difficult to judge this: new technologies are still being tested, which means that a sufficient observation base has not been developed.
As for traditional science, it rejects the statement about a new population of people. Say, what are these “new people” if they were born by merging the cells of two loving people? Like everyone else, naturally conceived. Indeed, they do not differ genetically or physiologically. Moreover, they are carried by an ordinary person. The only difference is that the process of conception takes place outside the human body, and gestation is not always in the mother's womb. Astrologers argue that this very difference for the future of all mankind is essential.
Opinions
Alexander Baranov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Director of the Scientific Center for Children's Health, Chief Specialist-Expert Pediatrician of the Ministry of Health of Russia:
“It is a medical fact that test-tube babies have a significantly higher number of birth defects than ordinary newborns. As well as the fact that they get sick much more often and more severely. Therefore, by supporting methods such as IVF, the state should immediately invest in the treatment of these children. At the same time, I believe that you cannot take away hope from people.
The desire to have a child is quite natural. But it is necessary to revise the state priorities in the field of demography, moving them into a clear preventive channel. It is necessary to strengthen the reproductive health of the younger generation, to change values, and not to clear up existing problems. Assisted reproductive technologies can also be used, but in narrow clinical situations. It is immoral and criminal to produce "test-tube babies" on a whim, a whim.
Alexander Markov, Leading Researcher of the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Biological Sciences:
- There was such a line of thought as eugenics - attempts to improve human nature. But here everything rests on very serious, insurmountable moral and ethical problems. The idea itself sounds good - to make human nature better, so that we become kinder, more honest, healthier, more beautiful, whatever. Sounds good, but how will you do it in practice? If we arrange artificial selection in the human population, then it will be necessary to forcibly remove from reproduction people who do not have favorable signs, and this is a terrible violence against a person, an attack on his rights! Will need to issue breeding licenses to some people who have passed the genetic test.
Marina Tsvetkova, family psychologist:
- Once a woman turned to me who could not give birth to a child naturally. She was in despair, saw no reason to live. We had long conversations, I tried to help her. Finally, she turned to IVF. Here, too, certain problems arose, but she did not give up and at the age of 40 finally gave birth to a child. The baby has a serious genetic disease. He did not look like ordinary children, was lagging behind in development, could not speak. However, once meeting this woman on the street, I realized that she was absolutely happy. She never regretted the money and efforts spent.
“Thank you for what you gave,” she said very sincerely. The child sitting in the stroller, although different from ordinary babies, smiled. And I thought: what right do we have to deprive such people of the joy of motherhood? Even if achieved in such a difficult way …
