FOREVER RIDICULOUS: VATICAN SLAMS NOBEL PRIZE FOR IVF PIONEER

Hilarious to see OBSCURANTISTS voicing their opinions in 2010! Guess they will love my new screenplay "The face", especially for its reproduction method! much more advanced than IVF and much more scandalous (for them)

THE Vatican has criticised a decision to award the Nobel Prize for Medicine to IVF pioneer Robert Edwards, who has brought the joy of parenthood to millions of infertile couples.

"I find the choice of Robert Edwards completely out of order," said Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which speaks for the Vatican on medical ethics issues.



"Without Edwards, there would not be a market on which millions of ovocytes are sold ... and there would not be a large number of freezers filled with embryos in the world," he told the ANSA news agency.



"In the best of cases they are transferred into a uterus, but most probably they will end up abandoned or dead, which is a problem for which the new Nobel Prize winner is responsible."



The statements were heavily moderated in a transcript of his interview with ANSA, which was obtained by AFP.



The Vatican considers in vitro fertilisation immoral because of the wastage of a large number of embryos during the procedure.

In their first announcement of the annual prize season, the Nobel committee hailed the 85-year-old Briton's work as "a milestone in the development of modern medicine".



The original test tube baby also offered her congratulations.



"It's fantastic news. Me and mum are so glad that one of the pioneers of IVF has been given the recognition he deserves," said Louise Brown.



"We hold Bob in great affection and are delighted to send our personal congratulations to him and his family at this time."
