Every pastor is interested in medical science.
He has too many people who ask his advice on related issues not to be interested. There are a couple who are being advised to pursue in-vitro fertilisation in order to become parents. A promising medical student is being drawn to study the human embryo. Pastors need as much knowledge as they can get. There was some unease about this and Mary Warnock was plucked from obscurity as Senior Research Fellow at St Hugh's College Oxford to chair a committee investigating the matter.
