I refer to Ivan Padovani’s letter referring to mine of May 16 about the right to life.

Padovani overlooked the issue of the right of religious freedom. Savita Halappanavar was not a Roman Catholic and other religions have a different stance on when life begins. Genesis 2:7: The Lord God formed man from the dust of the Right to life ground and “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life” (still-born babies are not baptised).

The Pentateuch was written by Moses, according to Judaism. And Koran 2:87 states: “To Moses we gave the Scriptures.”

It seems to me that an ‘interesting’ battle is going to be between the medical establishment and diverse religious beliefs.

Can anyone predict the winner?
