Editorial
Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

Ethical Perspectives Jean Seah Growing access to IVF and surrogacy raises serious ethical concerns - from exploitation of young women and donor identity risks, to the destruction of millions of embryos. Douglas McManaman In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would. Judie Brown The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals."

Douglas McManaman I am not so naive as to think that we can convince most people in this country that contraception is a disordered choice. For we live in a country in which the majority thinks that it is perfectly okay to destroy a developing human life in the womb if such a life proves inconvenient. There is little hope that we can persuade such a people all at once and within the foreseeable future that preventing possible human life from becoming an actuality is morally wrong. Such a task can only be accomplished one person at a time, and I am convinced that the right time to begin this rather laborious task is adolescence.
Ann Farmer While feminists approve of abortion it seems they disapprove of marriage - heterosexual marriage at any rate - and one wonders whether criticism of forced marriage is motivated more by the marriage than by the force. Nancy Valko In 1988 during the Nancy Cruzan case involving a young, non-terminally ill woman in a so-called "persistent vegetative state" whose parents wanted her feeding tube withdrawn so she would die, I was asked if I was going to feed my mother who had Alzheimer's disease. At the time, my mother had no problems with eating but I knew the real question was about a possible feeding tube later on. Judie Brown Politicians in Washington, DC, have recently moved to support research that permits experimentation for the purpose of creating "animal-human" hybrids, thus upping the ante for those who view human embryos as simple cell matter. Michael Cook Louise Casey, the head of the British government's troubled families programme, says that some mothers of large, expensive and troubled children should be forcefully counselled about using contraception. Marcus Roberts There are now more obese people in the world than those who are underweight. David van Gend All Australians deserve a vote on whether children should have both a mother and a father. I have faith in the Australian people that, faced with a choice between the demands of two men to be called a marriage and the needs of a child to have, where possible, both a mum and a dad, they will vote on behalf of the child.
