Birth prompts Italy debates on test tube birth ethics
Elisabetta, born to a frozen embryo implanted in the womb of her father’s sister, sparked a clash between science and religion in Italy where no law governs test tube births. Doctor Pasquale Bilotta asserts the birth occurred about 20 days ago and faces scrutiny from Italy’s medical association, while critic Severino Antinori questions the birth’s method. The Vatican newspaper condemns in vitro fertilization, donor eggs, and womb borrowing, highlighting a clash between conscience, science, and faith.
