Arizona: clamping down on IVF

Well, it was only a matter of time in my opinion before the ethical side of IVF popped back up. Since the 80’s IVF has done nothing but become more accepted, to the point we are at today,…anyone with money can do an IVF. Well, government in Arizona has decided to thwart this progressive forward movement and strap huge legislation on who can do IVF and when. Basically, it comes down to ethics. I guess the church is coming back into power, as the proposed laws will make it very difficult and scary for both the doctor and the patient to ever want to create more embryos than they can use, because if they use these embryos in an unwarranted way (transferring too many), or freeze them and when thawing an embryo dies, they can be up for class 6 felony charges, jail time. I am not writing here to say that this is either right or wrong, but I do have to say, that I believe that the ethical practice of reproductive medicine has disappeared in today’s medical culture of capitalist doctors that have to answer to their share holders.

Lorna McFadden, DCH

I have been a certified dental assistant for the past 16 years. Over that time I have been interested in many of the healing arts. In 1993, I became a reflexologist and continued to study other forms of alternative health. My passion for Homeopathy began when I was treated by a homeopath in 1998. I really resonated with the philosophy and treatment of homeopathy. Only after a few consultations I knew I had to become involved and help heal others. With restored health and a great deal of energy, I am driven to study this wonderful healing art. I have successfully completed the first milestone in my homeopathic career by graduating from the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy. I hope to write my Certification of Classical Homeopathy in the next few years. I am a member of the West Coast Homeopathic Society and regularly attend study sessions to stay updated and educated. I also attend local trade shows and educate the public on Homeopathy. I am recently married and reside in Langley with two cats and a golden retriever named Montana. My animals are wonderful homeopathic patients.
