The Orthodox scholar, Dr. J. David Bleich of Yeshiva University, expressed that position in reference to "in vitro" fertilization experi- ments whiCh have led to the world's first test-tube baby, Louise Brown in Britain. There have been reports that a number of such in vitro fertilization implants are in various stages of ges- tation. The Conservative scholar, Rabbi Seymour Siegel, until recently chairman of the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Law . and Standards, endorsed -genetic engineer- ing, in general, on theologi- cal, ethical and political grounds, though he did not deal specifically with in vitro fertilization experi- ments. Siegel, Ralph Simon professor of ethics at the Jewish Theological Sem- inary of America, de- clared in his statement that "questions about the creative powers of men have been raised" as a re- sult of the "dramatic breakthroughs in the field of genetic engineer- ing" and that scientists, "combining the frag- ments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of different organisms, have opened new vistas of human progress." Discussing the ethical implications of experiments which may result in the birth of a defective infant, Bleich declared that Jewish law does not sanction abor- tion motivated only by a de- Israel Denies Salvador Report Make It Really Special GOLDEN MUSHROOM At HAMILTON PLACE In Southfield • Bar Mitzvas • Bat Mitzvas • Anniversaries • Weddings • Meetings ' • Reunions (, • Showers • Banquets .) ".)) • All Occasions For Information Call 646-8990 JERUSALEM (JNI) — The Israel Defense Ministry has denied a report that there are Israeli military advisers serving in El Sal- vador. The report appeared in the London--based "Latiri American Weekly Report," which claimed according to "Salvadoran sources" that there are 20 to 30 "Israeli military advisers" pre- sently helping the Salvado- ran government combat guerrilla forces, as part of an Israeli "diplomatic offen- sive" in Latin America. An Israel Foreign Minis- try source said Israel did not even have any agricultural technicians in El Salvador. The source pointed out that Israel has not maintained an embassy in El Salvador for over a year now and that its affairs there are handled by the Israeli embassy in Costa Rica. The Jewish community of El Salvador numbers about 300. sire to eliminate a defective fetus, nor does it sanction "sterile marriage" as a means of preventing "transmission of hereditary disorders." But, he added, Jewish law "does discour- age marriages which would lead to the conception of such children," citing a specific warning that "a man should not - marry into an epileptic or leprous fam- ily." Whatever the methods used for the implant, Bleich stressed, "under no circum- stances should the sperm of any person other than the husband be utilized." The Yeshiva University scholar noted that it was "not at all inconceivable that genetic char- acteristics may be or- dered" sometime in the near future "to conform with virtually any paren- tal preference." Stressing that "the moral, genetic and societal impli- cations of such practices are truly awesome," Bleich de- clared, however, that "the distinction between caprici- ous genetic manipulation and in vitro fertilization which simulates natural procreation and is designed solely to alleviate infertility due to abnormality of the fallopian tubes should be readily apparent."
