Madam, - If it is a prerequisite of satire to provoke righteous indignation, then Newton Emerson's recent article on frozen embryos can only be considered a success. Let me remind those who took offence that there has been an enduring tradition of satirical journalism in this country, from Swift to Myles na Gopaleen, who refused to spare the sacred cows of received opinion.
Long may it continue. - Yours, etc,
