Can you name a time that two humans of the same sex birthed a child?

It is within the realm of possibility with technology. LINK

At one point in time, it was unnatural for an artificial pacemaker to provide conduction for the heart. Now we don't care. If such technology developed that allowed same-sex couples to insert their DNA into a child, would you still care?

If my child was born with a tail like a monkey I'd say that's pretty fricking unnatural.

Humans have tail-like structures until the 6th week of gestation. All sorts of things can happen for a child to be born with a tail, all of them related to embryonic development. It is within the realm of possibility for humans, yet somehow that's considered unnatural for you? I need to know what you consider natural and unnatural.

To me, discussing things with perfect strangers over devices that are made through the interaction of code, non-metals, organic materials and heavy metals would be unnatural by any definition, yet here we are.
