Because separating the unitive and procreative aspects of sex never leads to a slippery slope.
THE world’s first IVF lottery is to launch in Britain this month – giving gamblers the chance to “win” a baby.
The controversial game, newly granted a Gambling Commission licence, will see players buy £20 tickets online.
The winner will net £25,000 fertility treatments at one of the country’s top clinics.
The lottery will offer the chance to become a parent every single month.
The game, which looks sure to provoke a huge ethical debate, is set to launch on July 30. [Source][Via Creative Minority Report]
Well actually the IVF Lotto goes on daily. The IVF lotto is where multiple embryos are implanted in the womb in the hope one survives and the winner are any that survive the process. Though if no lotto winners for that implantation than repeat as required. Or in the case of multiple fetuses surviving than there might be a “reduction” to determine the winner. So what if those embryos are human persons.
Should a single woman or man win, they will be provided with donor sperm or a surrogate mum and donor embryo.
Yep, no slippery slope there.

Apart from being agains the Church’s teaching, I think the poor children who are well, being raffled off will have major emotional and mental problems in life. i.e. “Who was my Daddy Mummy? ” “So, I was a prize like that entertainment box set over there? ”
Lots to think about.
But, I do hope the children are loved.

Gross.
Then again. Maybe pro-life catholics should push to win and if one wins never use the winnings.
What if the winner wants to use NFP “fertility treatments”? Is that allowable?
“slippery slope”
We are so passed that, the slope has been iced and greased and littered with banana peels
I’d use such winnings in reverse, to spay/neuter dogs and cats.
