Life and the Family?

Another old one -

So, you want the church in charge? You want a good moral government? Here's how Italy's new law on assisted fertility works:

The present law, passed last year, restricts the provision of fertility treatment to stable heterosexual couples and excludes single women or same-sex couples. It also restricts surrogacy and research using human embryos, forbids sperm and egg donation, and limits the number of embryos created with in-vitro techniques to three.

All you people enslaved to your Darwinian urges, insisting on only a child with your genes - and a lot of you refusing to understand or even believe the urges driving you, an enormous irony - think about that for a minute, and then ask your clinic if they're creating more than three embryos to get you pregnant...

The rest of you, the ones who get sperm or egg donors, read the writing on the wall.

"Addressing the bishops, the Pope said that easing restrictions on assisted fertility treatments would pose a threat to life and the family."

That poor fragile thing - life and the family.

Look - if you don't want to raise other people's children, fine. If you want to remain childless and bitter about it, fine. If you want feel superior, fine.

But keep your religion out of other people's lives.
