Stn,—I quite agree with Sir Angus Watson that it is

not unnatural that decent people should hesitate to discuss in public this degrading subject. Nevertheless if artificial insemination among human beings is legally permitted in this country, strenuous efforts should be made to make it illegal. To that end I suggest that representatives of all the Churches and other appropriate organisations should form a committee with the object of securing legislation on the subject.

Such a perversion of• nature is but a base form of adultery, and what is morally wrong cannot be physically right. Moreover, such a departure from recognised standards of decent family life- must surely raise all

manner of legal difficulties and complications. therefore trust that this vital matter will not be allowed to drift through lack of bold action, and that, in the interests of national morality and the sanctity of .family life, such a committee as I have suggested will be formed without delay.—
