“The Vatican issued the most authoritative and sweeping document on bioethical issues in 20 years on Friday, taking into account recent developments in biomedical technology and reinforcing the church’s opposition to in vitro fertilization, human cloning, genetic testing on embryos before implantation and embryonic stem cell research,” report Povoledo and Goodstein of the NY Times.
In case you need yet another organisation to give you moral advice and dictate your personal life decisions (as if mom and dad weren’t enough), read about the Vatican’s decree after the break!
