Vatican Gerontocrats Endorse Euthanasia, Artificial Insemination
These assertions are contained in a book with the euphemist title La gioia della vita (The Joy of Life), which was produced by "theologians" of the Pontifical Academy for Life (LaNuovaBq.it, 18 March).
The texts date back to a seminar of the discredited Academy in 2021. They were published last month.
The bosses of the Academy believe that it is "good" not to ban euthanasia because "this could cause greater damage to the common good and to civil coexistence, by exacerbating conflicts or favouring clandestine forms [most murders are "clandestine"] of officially illegal practices" (page 150).
Their book goes on to claim that artificial insemination with the husband's sperm ("homologous insemination") does not artificially separate procreation from sexual intercourse, which is "in itself" sterile.
"On the contrary, the technique acts as a form of therapy that makes it possible to cure sterility, not by replacing sexual intercourse, but by making procreation possible," they write on page 130.
In real life, sperm is obtained through morally reprehensible masturbation and embryos are created in laboratories. Surplus embryos that constitute a human person are frozen or murdered.
