TV advertising for abortion is unnecessary, discriminatory and an abuse of taxpayers’ money
Private clinics that undertake abortions for profit will be allowed to advertise their services on television and radio for the first time, watchdogs ruled yesterday. Until now, only not-for-profit organisations have been permitted to use television and radio to advertise advice on unplanned pregnancies, although none have so far been able to afford the huge […]
More hype about ‘three-parent embryos’ – but huge ethical and safety issues
Two consultations have been launched this week into what has been called the ‘three parent embryo’ technique for eradicating diseases caused by genetic mutations in the mitochondria of cells. Both the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) and the Nuffield Council on Bioethics will be carrying out enquiries into whether it would be appropriate and […]
MPs debate Care for the Dying
David Burrowes headed up a Westminster Hall debate on Tuesday among around 20 MPs in a positive reflection about how we should care best for the elderly in our society. The importance of palliative care, not the legalisation of assisted suicide should be the central issue when talking about the dying, Burrowes argued. During the […]
Welsh plans to increase organ donation: costly waste of time and money
Not only are radical plans to introduce new legislations to increase organ donation on death in Wales going to cost millions of pounds, and be highly complicated to administer, they are also ‘ethically tricky,’ new research published in the journal Transplantation this month confirms. The publication of two new journal articles on organ donation after […]

Lessons from Stephen Hawking and Kathryn Higham about assisted suicide
Congratulations to Stephen Hawking (pictured), internationally renowned Cambridge physicist, who turned 70 this week. Hawking is probably the world’s most famous sufferer of motor neurone disease (MND) and apart from his contributions to science has also taught us two very important things relevant to the euthanasia debate. First is the unreliability of doctors’ prognostic forecasts. […]
‘Selective reduction’ – a euphemism for deliberately killing one or more babies in an IVF pregnancy
Last week’s Life Site News ran a story titled ‘Five best and worst biotechnology developments of 2011 from a pro-life perspective’ which is well worth a read in its own right. The third worst development it mentions is that of ‘selective reduction’: ‘This year we were introduced to the ugly practice of selective reduction, a […]
