Oh Why Oh Why Is the Church So Cruel?

What a shock to read of this after decades of being told how wonderful yet another modern thread woven into the magic carpet ride of Progress was:

Women who give birth after IVF treatment are up to five times as likely to suffer from serious complications, researchers have found.
The most comprehensive study of its kind concluded that babies born as a result of fertility treatment are more likely to be severely underweight, stillborn, born prematurely or die only a few weeks after birth.
Scientists analysed records from more than 300,000 births that took place in Australia between 1986 and 2002.

This latest and exhaustive study reflects what we are just beginning to learn about this practice. The findings are not encouraging:

An article just published in the highly respected journal Fertility and Sterility ought to give anyone thinking about using “test tube” baby technology pause. A review of 124,000 children born through two very common infertility treatments -- in vitro fertilization, creating embryos in a dish and transferring them to a womb and ICSI, in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg -- showed large increase in the risk of having a child with a birth defect. The risk was 37 percent higher than that seen in children made the old fashioned way. That is a huge number.

Yet we have to endure mindless, emotionally overwrought lectures from the contemporary sheep who have fallen for all of the comforting modernist lies. They hammer away at us with the old saw that the Roman Catholic Church is so cruel, so heartless, so backwards in its thinking because it frowns on unnatural acts (for that is what this is -- an act willingly done by human beings) such as IVF.

Just as with the emotionally-hysterical homosexuals, once again we have people so wrapped up in their immediate quest for what they want at the moment that they adamantly refuse to consider that there may be unhappy consequences to themselves and others as a result of their unnatural acts.

What can possibly be more cruel than bringing a sickly, under-developed baby into this world just because you "want one"?

Oh yeah, I forgot, they can always be aborted if it looks like the little possession isn't gonna turn out exactly like we want it.

Bet that sadistic Catholic Church frowns on refusing delivery of damaged parcels too!

Fun and Cool Songs About Death and Dying

1.  Lee Hazlewood - We All Make the Flowers Grow

Outstanding youtube video put together here for this song. Excellent use of worldly 1960s-era footage highlights the fact that what is all around us will one day disappear, along with... us.

"Wise men and fools, two will get you five. You'll never get out of this world alive."




2. Daniel Johnston - Funeral Home

The nervous laughter of his audience really adds to the wallop.

"I'm goin' to the funeral and I'm never coming back."




3. Quasi - My Coffin

Morbid despair with a crisp sense of humor and a fine pride in craftsmanship.

"I'm beveling the edges to make it nice and strong."





4. Wreckless Eric - Final Taxi

The English working class vocal delivery is somehow incredibly fitting to the subject at hand.

"There's only one destination in the final taxi."





And, finally, my favorite "Screw Death, You Ruthless Bastard" song...


5. Eels - The Medication Is Wearing Off

Pain is a part of life. A touching witness to the hurt that comes with being left behind.

"See this watch she gave me? Well it still ticks away."
