Natural is best

I BELIEVE the recent Supreme Court ruling on frozen human embryos highlights the need to turn instead to natural assisted human reproduction – specifically to treatments where a married couple are given appropriate medical care in order to have children.

However, this would require improved standards of fertility behaviour which would be more dignified for parents.

This approach would research and identity conception problems. Often there would be appropriate patient care for men, such as microsurgery, and for women, possibly hormone therapy. In stark contrast, the grim IVF industry has a “one size fits all” strategy. The frozen test tubes should not be engineered as a future home for any human life.

Economic arguments in favour of IVF should neither justify its comparatively low success rate nor its inhumane treatment of God’s little souls.
