A neat satire! It's directness and extremity remind me of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (http://www.pagebypagebooks.com/Jonathan_Swift/A_Modest_Proposal/A_Modest_Proposal_p1.html). Bearing in mind that we are talking here about the same organisation that is still split over the ordination of women ages after it was officially approved, their attitude in this case doesn't surprise me.
