I understand that the church has to evolve over time, but using Thomas Aquinas to determine how to categorize medical therapies that didn't exist during his time is strange. How about we have some current church leaders put in some thought on the matter?

Well the modern Catholic Church has been known for a while being rather hide bound. And there is a difference I think between a standard tubal pregnancy and this case. But you never answered our question. You said that medical ethics are all about medical decisions? Then explain why my friends can't get their tubes tied for instance.
