Althouse: "Each female citizen of Russia will be able to receive by mail the genetic material of the President, get pregnant from him and have a baby."

November 12, 2014

"Each female citizen of Russia will be able to receive by mail the genetic material of the President, get pregnant from him and have a baby."

"These mothers will be receiving special allowances from the government."

ADDED: It's a modern-day variation on Genghis Khan.

Lucid said...: Meh. Not the craziest idea to come from Russia. At least it doesn't involve loss of freedom.; 11/12/14, 6:01 AM
Quaestor said...: So history goes straight to farce without any stops. There's another one Marx can mull over as he simmers in Tartarus. To be fair Großer Karl’s reaction to the idea of communism in Russia was incredulity.

I truly don't know who is the worst Chief of State, HyperMale or Weenie-Man.; 11/12/14, 6:23 AM

Bob Boyd said...: Joseph Smith was a total piker!

This ought to keep Putin busy trying to keep those tanker trucks topped off.

The secret is a group of top Russian scientists figured out a way to wire up the Reset Button to Putin's newly nationalized wedding tackle. Down time has been virtually eliminated.; 11/12/14, 7:34 AM

RecChief said...: I wonder what the response would be if the Democrat Party announced all those Julias out there can get a sample from Obama? What percentage of the female population in this country would swoon at the thought?; 11/12/14, 8:35 AM

Michael K said...: Great way to ensure that genetic diseases multiply. There is nothing like having a population of half-siblings ti mate with each other.

Hey, it worked for the Bourbons and their lip.; 11/12/14, 9:04 AM
Drago said...: RecChief: "What percentage of the female population in this country would swoon at the thought?"

Don't kid yourself.

It wouldn't just be liberal women asking for a sample.

The liberal men would be as well.

After all, since gender is just a "social construct", liberal Stan over there is demanding the "Right to have a baby", regardless of his clear lack of a womb wherein the baby would gestate!

traditionalguy said...: The Russians are doing what they can to encourage breeders. That's why they publicly oppose gays like Tim Cook.

They see birthrate as an "existential" problem. They have 1/3rd of the world's area and half of its natural resources and a disappearing population to defend, develop and use it.

That's also the reason they will never let Russian areas in East Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula be taken away.

Putin is in an existential fight and sees Obama's opposition as a fight to Russia's death.; 11/12/14, 10:02 AM

n.n said...: I wonder if Putin has given his consent to this enterprise. Putin is Christian. His moral philosophy does not embrace progressive concepts including womb banks and sperm depositors. The Christian philosopher (i.e. God) discourages normalizing orientations and behaviors that are antithetical to evolutionary fitness and human dignity.; 11/12/14, 10:10 AM
Saint Croix said...: Oh that is so creepy! And when you look at the photos, it's worse.

Ms. Mizoulina, who holds a PhD in law.

NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...: Besides which, Putin would spend all his time producing the genetic material. The guy's pretty vigorous, I get it, but that's a lot of work.; 11/12/14, 1:07 PM
NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...: Take this as a SF premise. Say that women could purchase cloned gametes of famous people (because it's impractical the old fashioned way). How many would do so? What would the ramifications be?; 11/12/14, 1:08 PM
NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...: Think of the child support bills.; 11/12/14, 1:09 PM
Quaestor said...: Hey, it worked for the Bourbons and their lip.

You're thinking of the Hapsburgs, who gained hegemony in Europe and the first globe-spanning empire at least partly though strategic marriage, sometimes consanguineous.

And it wasn't a distinctive lip they passed in their genes, that lip was just the outward sign of a larger problem having to do with the malformation of the whole lower jaw. Known as mandibular prognathism, the condition was most extreme in the person of Carlos II who, besides being able only to eat soup, was horrendously afflicted in other ways. Thankfully he died without issue, which gave the Bourbons the opportunity to take over Spain and rescue its monarchy. The House of Bourbon y Bourbon reigns on today.; 11/12/14, 3:42 PM

I know. Whole armies of little Putin replicas ready and willing to do their fathers bidding.; 11/12/14, 4:36 PM
Skeptical Voter said...: Considering what it takes to get a bull to produce sperm for artificial insemination, I'd suggest Putin stay away from any electric "buttons".

But what the heck, old Vlad wants to the "Father of His Country".
