So forgive me if you come waltzing in making such definitive
statements in an area where Science has got way ahead
of ethics. And not on purpose, not for some evil deed.
This is an area where many very religious people go through
a great deal of debate and agony because some
aspects are so complex.
i doubt the catholic church EVER signs off on this. it wasn't long ago that they were still against blood transfusions and organ transplants. that's a group that won't condone condom use in africa to combat the aids epidemic because they feel 'all life is sacred'. well, not once you're here, they don't. i'd imagine a lot more lives would have been saved had they given the go ahead for condom use than what was prevented by using the same. and who knows how many kids over there were born with aids-sentenced to death essentially from birth, because we can't be using condoms folks!
