VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|andym|DATE|1365782977|CONTENT|The Catholic Church had gone so quiet on IVF I&#039;d forgotten that they would,of course, oppose it.Maybe it&#039;s due to a certain realpolitik.You can hardly,if you spout on about the sanctity of life,say that people created by the wonders of IVF, and are indistinguishablesay that they are somehow &quot;not human..&quot;It would be pushing things ,even for the Roman fanatics.

As regards Sacks,I agree with what&#039;s been posted.He has ,in the US at least,made statements supporting secularism.But he will not take the step of saying that,whatever Judaism believes,their opinion is irrelevant as regards what a secular society decides about things like IVF.A fair-weather secularist,I&#039;d say.|EMAIL|andrewm030@aol.com|IP-ADDRESS|31.53.150.187|MODERATIONFLAG|
