Line 391:
What, if any, is the Roman Catholic Church's official line on [[in vitro fertilization]]? --[[User:Bluegrouper|Bluegrouper]] ([[User talk:Bluegrouper|talk]]) 06:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
:Any means of procreation that is separate from sexual intercourse between a married man and woman is supposed to be forbidden. However, [[GIFT]] ([[gamete intra-fallopian transfer]]) is the only assisted reproductive technology that is considered acceptable to the Catholic church. GIFT is acceptable because fertilization occurs within the female's body, not outside. - <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 06:43, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
== HIV and the U.S. Military ==
Me and a friend have some questions regarding this as we are in a dispute over the topic
Troy's question:
What is the U.S. Military's regulations regarding soldiers that are HIV-positive, are they allowed to join, stay, reenlist, or are they automatically medically discharged? if they are not, did they use to, has the policy changed over time at all?
Ian's question:
According to Army Regulation 600-110 the US army will discharge you from all LEADERSHIP ORIENTED programs such as the USMA, OCS, and ROTC. These are all discharges Im guessing is because of security clearances, and that HIV+ acts as an identification factor that violates such clearances. I also think that unit cohesion between the US(A) and the US(DoD) fitness requirements have adjusted the policies pertaining to fitness for HIV+ standards. Ive noticed the revisions on the army regulation. Does this mean that the AR has been changed, and if so can you clarify the changes to me as well as answer my question?
