I thought you’d all like to see this.

This is a quote from Professor of Reproductive medicine Allison Murdoch. It’s from 2005.

ALISON MURDOCH
Professor of reproductive medicine
“I believe that life does not begin at conception, but I have no proof. I am an atheist and I believe in the sanctity of life but not that there is a higher spirit up there creating it. I don’t think there is a magic moment when life begins. I favour a gradualist approach. Once a baby is born, it is an individual. But there’s a time before that when it is still part of the woman who is carrying it. At the very early stages of pregnancy, she has the right to make decisions about it. As the pregnancy develops, the growing infant acquires its independent rights.

While I respect the value of a fertilised egg because it has the capacity to create a baby, I do not look on it in the same way that I would regard a child. Life should be respected differently at different stages. A fertilised egg is not a life; it is a potential life. I can’t prove this, but my work is based on it. If I felt that every fertilised egg that I created for IVF was an individual person, I couldn’t do my job. We create hundreds of embryos every week; eight to ten for each person, only ever using two.”

There you have it; an atheist Professor of reproductive medicine agrees that there is no proof that she is not killing somebody. Yet she does it anyway.

Sickening.

As I read this I was reminded of an opinion piece I read this summer in the Ottawa Citizen.
Some professor (of philosophy, perhaps) admitted that a human life begins at conception. But he insisted that the new human was not a person. Haven’t we been through that before in history? (Women, black people, Jews in Nazi Germany(?) )
 
I think instead of doing IVF, we need to help make resources available for people to adopt children who are already born and in need of loving parents. Some women just really want a baby that looks like them, to carry the child, etc.

Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro-Carámbula made this point in his piece Politics and the American Person.

*One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, “God, we’ve decided that we no longer need you. We’re to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don’t you just go on and get lost.”

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, “Very well, how about this, let’s say we have a man making contest.”

To which the scientist replied, “OK, great!”

But God added, “Now, we’re going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam.”

The scientist said, “Sure, no problem” and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, “No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!”*

Excuse my bluntness, but what a complete idiot. Of course life begins at conception. Otherwise what, we’re some kind of zombie zygote?

Where did she get her medical degree? A cereal box?
 
Interesting…so the embryo isn’t alive at conception. Must be dead then…only two options here.

Not “nearly dead” as in the Princess Bride. 😉

But seriously, I have to agee with vera dicere here. The “professor” must have slept through that lecture on life and death in medical school.
