Hi,
"To use another person as an 'incubator' and then take from her the child she carried and delivered for a fee is a revolting degradation of maternity and an affront to human dignity."
(Lord R’ Immanuel Jakobovitz, public statement, cited by R' J. David Bleich in Contemporary Halakhic Problems Vol. 1 pg. 106)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

The value of a moment of human life
Hi,
"If one would reduce the value of human life because its end was nearing, human life in general would lose its absolute value and gain relative value - relative to the expectations of one's life, one's health, one's benefit to society, or some other arbitrary measure."
(Rabbi Immanuel Jakobovitz, HaRefuah v'haYahadut pg. 152)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
