Bilotta said the operation was carried out in Switzerland because the Italian medical body's professional code of conduct forbids surrogate motherhood, although there is no legal ban on the practice. Aldo Pagni, president of Italy's medical order, said the fact that Bilotta had gone abroad did not absolve him and he should face sanctions. He also called for government legislation to prevent future cases. Father Gino Concetti, a Roman Catholic moral theologian whose views are close to those of Pope John Paul, said the pregnancy was "a new step towards madness" and urged a ban. He said surrogate motherhood is "a blatant violation of natural maternity and a grave offence against personal dignity which calls for conception in a dignified manner and by natural means by a couple united in regular The Catholic Church opposes all forms of artificial human conception, including test-tube fertilization and surrogate motherhood, as well as experimentation on embryos.

"Two children are being born as the offspring of five adults, of two fathers and three mothers. Here the whole concept of the family, of brothers and of twins has been blown to pieces," La Stampa newspaper declared. "They are children of science and that is it." Angela, a mother of two children who are eight and 10, told newspapers that she decided to help two childless women "out of love" and was not being paid anything more than her expenses. "It is an act of humanity," she said, addins that after the birth she did not want to see the babies and had not wanted information about the parents. She said she was a Roman Catholic but had no difficulty reconciling her faith and her decision.

Gynecologist Pasquale Bilotta said Thursday that he implanted two eggs from different women and fertilized by separate men in the surrogate mother.

He said both female donors were Italian. The surrogate mother, identified only as Angela, was three months pregnant. Health Minister Rosy Bindi, who this week announced a temporary ban in Italy on all forms of human and animal experimentation linked to cloning, was aghast. "We have crossed unimaginable dent of production and development, called the location "really exciting." She used to do some of her research in the library as a producer in the early years ofJack Webster's television show. "The neat part about the area is that we want to have a really inclusive station, in the sense that there will be some traffic from the street into the building and we'll do a lot of window-front work." Baton will promote the station as "Vancouver Television" and a prominent downtown location was thought to be crucial.

Jubb said CIVT might not be as profitable a tenant for the developers as EZone, which intended to attract crowds with up to 200 arcade games, simulators, virtual-reality rides and video-screening rooms. But he said he had talked to Planet Hollywood and Virgin Records officials, "and they think it's great to have a broadcast facility right beside them in the same building." Boyce said she had her fingers crossed that Baton will get the go-ahead from the city's heritage advisory group, but Jubb said he was optimistic. "The truth is they're a very critical tenant to Vancouver. Apparently they've had some very good meetings with the city." Several issues have to be settled before a final agreement is signed, including whether CIVT can put satellite dishes on the roof of the building without jeopardizing its heritage status. Baton expects the station to be on the air in September.

Edgecombe president David Jubb said the conditional agreement is for 40,000 to 45,000 square feet on several floors of the building. It is believed to be for a 15-year lease worth $13 million to $14 million. CIVT replaces E-Zone, a huge virtual-reality game and arcade centre that was nixed at the end ofJanuary by Vancouver city council. But two days later, federal regulators promised Baton a new TV licence and the Toronto-based broadcaster started hunting for studio and office space. "We were sitting here trying to figure out what to do," Jubb said, "and then Baton walked in the door and said, 'We've a television licence and we want the space." The building sits on the demarcation line between the downtown business district and the glitzy, upscale shopping strip of Robson Street.
