An article of vital significance to our techno-reproductive "rights" and "rites of
passage". Test tube babies? Artifical ensemination. Spermbanks and donors.
Who owns the human egg and sperm? Who owns the cosmic egg and sperm of our living
planetary incubation and evolutionary emergence? Who owns the planet named Mother?
Who owns the Mother nature, the Mother Goddess, Mother of all Being and Becoming?
The patriarchial church and state? The mythic male Gods, Zeus, Apollo, Jehweh,
the major religions dieties, Mohammed-Allah, the Christian Godfather? The Papal
Vicars of Christ? The self-proclaimed "infalliable" "Holy See", the Vatican?
Who owns planet Earth? What is ownership?
"The earth does not belong to man. Man belong to the Earth . . .
Man did not weave the web of life. Man is but one strand in the web.
Sell the Land? My people do not understand? Can we sell the air?
And if we "sell you the Land", will you remember that the Earth is our Mother?
What we do to the Earth we do to ourselves. What befalls the Earth befalls the
sons and daughters of the Earth.
All things are connected. All things breath the same breath.
- Chief Seattle, also known as Stealth, Wise Indigenous Earth Elder
