text: I agree with you Dave. So does the Church, I'm sure. But....
  
  I have a question for conservatives and health care experts.  
  
  To be morally`consistent, why aren't physician-prescribed pills Dave advocates considered "Catholic artificial" because they dramatically and chemically alter "natural" body functions. In other words, who--besides their doctors--should pick and choose what pills are OK or not for the mental and physical health of Catholics?
  
  Imagine how some would react if you advocated telling a young wife: 
  
  "If there is someone in your life who is telling you they don't think you should be taking (birth control) pills, feel free to totally ignore their irrational advice. If your doctor is prescribing something for you that you think will overall help you, then go to the pharmacy and fill the prescription"? 
  
  If contraceptive pills are "artificial," ergo intrinsically wrong because of that, why can't the same be said about Dave's equally "body-altering" pills?
