They all want to be left holding the baby
Article Abstract:
Significant advances in fertility treatment techniques over recent years have made having children a possibility for many women who would otherwise have been unable to do so. This development has been accompanied by a growing feeling that people have a right to have children. Many new ethical problems are emerging as new situations, such as gay couples seeking to adopt or foster children, emerge. Sensitive issues relating to reproduction may be partly resolved by encouraging society to move away from putting pressure on people to have children.

Away from the manger: what's left when the nativity play is over?
Article Abstract:
Most media coverage of religion does not look beyond religion as an expression of a need for stability, discipline and trust. It sees religious belief as fixed, failing to take into account the fact that to have faith necessarily implies constantly striving towards becoming a more whole person. Even intellectual commentators tend to not go beyond viewing religion as an effort to discover or impose an order and to establish unity and consistency. However, religion is much more than this to individuals, even in today's secular society.
