...couples the joy of procreation? Or is it dehumanizing, a step that is to be condemned because it puts the moment of creation outside the body into a mechanical environment? To some thinkers, the Oldham experiment poses no problems.

When nature does not permit conception, it is desirable to try to outwit nature. The Talmud teaches that God desires man's cooperation."

On the contrary, there are large populations of Ethiopian, Jordanian, Iranian, Egyptian, Turkish, and Palestinian Jews living in Israel. These Israeli citizens serve in the army and defend their lives and the lives of other innocent civilians. In fact, many times, it is difficult...
