VATICAN, Dec 15 (LSN)—On the news that a third baby has been born after being frozen as an embryo, the Italian newspaper Avvenire denounced sacrificing children “on the altar of experimentation.” The paper was reacting to a case in which an Italian woman gave birth to a child who had been conceived in a test tube, frozen, and then thawed, before being implanted in her womb. Protesters noted such a process has a failure rate of over 80 per cent—each “failure,” of course, being the death of a human being.
