Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov 12, 2010 / 00:47 am
The director of the pro-life organization Movimiento Fundar in Argentina has released a statement explaining why in vitro fertilization should not be legalized in the country.
Argentina's Congress is currently debating a number of measures that would legalize the procedure.
Nicolas Lafferriere, head of the organization, stated Nov. 9 that the Catholic Church “clearly points out that lawmakers cannot approve these techniques, as the transmission of human life cannot be reduced to mere technological procedures that do not uphold the dignity of each human life.”
Lafferriere noted that in vitro fertilization disconnects procreation from sexuality, such that the transmission of human life does not take place in the conjugal act, but rather through a technological one that is subjected to control mechanisms and manipulation.
