The advances we are making with all our scientific and medical knowledge is far outstripping any moral and ethical progress. The new medical technologies may open up all sort of dazzling possibilities, but without an informed moral framework with which to judge and assess them, they simply lead to more dehumanisation and depersonalisation.

Editor: This is another response to the news out of Britain about IVF pregnancies being electively aborted. We should keep in mind that IVF has always created embryos only to destroy many if not most of them. The success of the procedure has always relied upon selecting the "best" and discarding the rest . . . or leaving them to languish in frozen limbo. We really shouldn't be so shocked or appalled over the loss of life that has made it to the uterus, when loss of life in the test tube has been so trivialized.
