In the garden of Eden, the serpent first spoke to Eve and assured her
that she would have knowledge of Good and Evil if she just ate of the
forbidden fruit. Eve was deceived and then convinced Adam to eat of the
fruit.
This pattern took place again in the case of Deborah Rowe
and Michael Jackson. Deborah was deceived by the allurement of riches.
She knew that he wanted children badly. She then offered to bear the
children in exchange for money, to be conceived by artificial
insemination using the seed of an anonymous sperm donor. Jackson then
agreed to the proposal. This set in motion a series of events bringing about sorrow and grief.
Deborah has been quoted as saying that she
conceived both children through a process which was the same as the way
she would inseminate one of the mares on her horse ranch in Palmdale.
Presumably this would be by extracting live sperm from one of the
stallions and then injecting it into the vagina of the mare either
directly using a syringe without a needle, or by way of a tube inserted
into the vagina. This is ethical as a breeding technique for
thoroughbred horses. However, it is totally unacceptable as a way to
bring human beings into this world.
Although it was Deborah's idea initially, Deborah and Michael are
in pari delicto which means that they are equally at fault. They both suffer the consequences of these sins. In law, when two parties are
in pari delicto,
the one in possession has the better right. Applying this rule to
the Jackson children, they were in the custody of their father at the
time of his death and are now in the custody of their grandmother. The
law favors her to continue having custody.
