Comment on More NZ women needing help to overcome fertility problems by glhawk87

It is crazy how the infertility rate in the world keeps rising and the need for fertility treatment is rising. Soon if we don’t fix this epidemic the world is going to have a hard time keeping the populations up.

Completely agree. This is ridiculous.

And this is coming from someone who actually supported the repeal of s59 (me). At least I recognise that there is a legitimate need for our government to respond to democratic process, as in the referendum on s59, and this march was certainly never about being allowed to “hit”!! Neither was the referendum about people’s “right to hit”.

Bad job NZ Herald.

“If an embryo is human, it is a person”.

Brilliant.

Comment on LIFE MATTERS: IVF – our failure to teach is aiding injustice by eleus

Thanks for this column Brendan.

My cousin recently decided to have IVF and the only person I could turn to to express my grief about her decision was my mum, because she knows the truth about IVF too. But if I were to tell anyone else in my family about my compassion for all the children who were created in a petrie dish only to be killed in that petrie dish because they weren’t up to scratch, I would be castigated for my “lack of compassion” towards my cousin.

My cousin fell pregnant naturally before she could have the treatment, and I thank God for this miracle. But I agree wholeheartedly that there needs to be more education on the evils of IVF and the wrong it does to the whole family. As you have noted, it is difficult territory to tread, so I am praying for you and all who work to promote natural conception.

I just love the “husbands and wives make love, not make babies” thing too!

Comment on Eugenic search and destroy programme for Down syndrome proposed for NZ by stemcl

The TV3 link to this story now has 12 comments, most of them being a discussion between me and Craig who obviously strongly believes in abortion and that difficult circumstances justify abortion. http://www.3news.co.nz/National-screening-for-Down-Syndrome-on-the-way/tabid/423/articleID/128730/cat/526/Default.aspx I’m just mentioning this because in my last comment (No 12 – I’m giving up the discussion) I have posted links to websites that I think would be helpful to anyone faced with a serious prenatal diagnosis, regardless of what disability or health condition is detected.
