TORONTO, Ontario, September 14, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – As Ontario’s debt load continues to grow unabated, the Minister of Health in Premier Dalton McGuinty’s government says they are still considering funding the controversial in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure with taxpayer dollars through the provincial health plan. “We are not closing the door to it. … We’re taking some important steps,” Deb Matthews told QMI Agency Tuesday....Further, they warn that it reduces newly-formed human life to the status of a commodity. Interestingly, the panel’s report criticized the federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act because it restricts the commercialization of human sperm, eggs, and embryos. At the same time, the Ontario government pays the full cost for many thousands of Ontario women to abort their unwanted babies each year. Consequently, the number of babies available for adoption is very low and it is very difficult for childless Ontario couples to find a child to adopt. (Source).
The Family Coalition Party opposes the public funding of all non-essential medical procedures which would include IVF "treatments".
