Bio-ethics

Please check out Fr. John Breck's article on the OCA website regarding medically assisted procreation. It is excellent and informative. Amazingly enough, the Europeans have gotten this one right.

"Europeans"? Hah. These are the ITALIANS doing this. Go to the northern section of the Continent, and you won't see so much objection to the practices outlawed in Italy.

Fr John is right that we need a louder Orthodox voice opposing these practices here in the U.S., but it won't happen until North American Orthodox shed their moral ambivalence. What do you expect when a recent voter guide by a prominent OCA ecumenist identifies world poverty and even capital punishment as having the same moral urgency as abortion?
