To others, it is yesterday's issue, posing no danger to traditional marriage. To still others - McGill University's Douglas Farrow among them - it has turned civil society on its ear, creating a new political situation in which several things are no longer clear: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e . Is the state the property of the citizenry? Or are citizens, with their cherished personal associations, including marriage, now the property of the state? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e . Who \"owns\" the children, now that natural parenthood had been replaced by legal parenthood? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e . Is the family still \"the natural and fundamental group unit of society,\" as the \u003ci\u003eUniversal Declaration of Human Rights\u003c\/i\u003e claims? Or is the concept of the \"natural\" moribund? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e .
