Regardless of whether a procedure does or does not involve genetic
engineering, critics of life-saving medical procedures should not be allowed
to evade the fact that they are condemning ill people to die unecessarily.
I find it interesting that the same people who value the life of human
embryos enough to kill to protect such embryos would simultaneiously condemn
ill children to death.
I wrote the following to *The Australian*
===================
It would be good if critics of using embryo screening and IVF to save lives
would stop and think how they would feel if they had a gravely ill child.
Denying a sick child medical procedures that could save her life is
tantamount to murder.
