Conception methods
Sir, — The Press Assocp . ation reports that the Australian Right-to-Life Association condemns the development of test-tube babies. They also condemn the establishment of...sperm banks and artificial irisemiriation — all methods to help child- . less couples achieve much longed-for- parenthood; Yet they have the audacity to call themselves, : “Right-to-Life;” Bearing in. mind : that most North Canterbury 'Hospital , .Board- obstetricians have. publicly acknowledged their association , with . the ■ New. Zealand right-to-life movement, can the head of obstetrics at Christchurch Women’s Hospital reassure prospective parents for whom normal conception is impossible, that • when the technology becomes available in New Zealand, they will not succumb to . pressure from the right-to-life movement and block the availability of this service. — Yours, etc., SANDRA M, LEGGE. July 7, 1980. [Mr Keith Drayton, head of the department of obstettrics.and gynaecology, North Canterbury Hospital Board replies: “Yes.”]
