A classmate of mine in elementary school nearly died from a simple infection because his mother was a Christian Scientist, who see all medical care as a lack of faith in God. I guess this formed my ideas early on as to problems with faith vs. science.
My point with IVF, etc. is that the nature of science changes every day, and as a rule, faith stays constant. There obviously needs to be a standard of ethics that guides scientific development, I just don't know that religious doctrine can stay relevant as the final word in what is going on in laboratories these days.
Oh - and I say harvest the stem-cells off of the blastocysts and destroy them. Cloning creeps me out.
