Invasion of medical technology into life

There are some replies which refer to the relationship between inochi and scientific (medical) technology. The following are such examples. [96/97]

[Concerning In Vitro Fertilization technology] I have had a great fear of
manipulating ova and sperm which are the origins of inochi. (30-39/female/farmer/no religion)

For the present I object to the prolongation of inochi forcibly by advanced medicine. However, I don’t have any ideas as to what extent we should accept this technology. (40-49/female/housewife/—)

I feel inochi when a baby is born. Last month I became sterile because of a uterus disease, and I felt a little lonely as a woman….I considered In Vitro Fertilization to be blasphemous. However I am beginning to think of it as a power given to humans from God. (30-39/female/housewife/Good Light Association)

The first and second replies are negative about the direct invasion of medical technology into inochi. The third turns positive. However, the respondents seem to waver in their judgments between positive and negative.
