What's being fanatical about being Catholic and believing that life begins at conception and that IVF is wrong and that Catholics in the public square such as Brooke Shields should not be publicly touting a procedure in the news which according to the church kills life, is considered abortion and is a mortal sin? Sad to say people believe and emulate celebrities.
Because it's not illegal and Brooke Shields has the right to do what she wants to do. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what she does, but it seems you do. Makes me wonder, a bit. Now please, go away. We will never agree.
I honestly think there's nothing we can do about it (IVF,fertility pills,etc). After hearing the response to Ronald Reagan Jr.'s speech and hearing John Gambling this morning, stem cell research and cloning are as good as here.
I don’t know what will turn the tide of the attitudes of some of our more tolerant friends. I really like the appeal to the ‘legality’ of IVF. If it’s legal, then it should be permitted.
That’s the same logic that would be used in saying that since some states don’t consider it illegal to screw animals, then it should be done and nobody should complain about it or even think it wrong.
A poster previously mentioned the difference between legality and morality. The slippery slope is getting steeper as we progress to the point of eugenics. We’re nearly there and if we don’t want to wind up like the Chinese (surplus of men due to abortions of girls in the one-child state edict) or worse, we need to decide to implement proper protections of babies. Or else the Sangers of this world will handle them for us.
