Breaking NewsAssisted Suicide And The Corruption Of Palliative Care
Anyone who cares about the proper practice of medicine should be up in arms about the assisted-suicide movement’s attempt to make hospice and palliative sedation stalking horses for backdoor assisted suicide. Not only do such schemes subvert medicine by transforming legitimate medical interventions into life-terminating protocols, New Outreach Casts Wider Net For After Abortion Care

While pro-life British MPs originally wanted to tighten the limit on late-term abortions from 24 weeks into pregnancy to 20, it appears that may not happen. A leading Conservative MP appears more interested in a compromise measure that would tighten the late-term abortion limit to 22 weeks.

Genetically Modified Human Embryo Stirs Criticism

Synopsis: A scientist as scientist cannot answer the question whether the universe has a purpose. The John Templeton Foundation would do just as well to ask an historian, a housewife, or a police officer any of the "Big Questions" it poses to scientists. Rosa Linda G. Valenzona
A century ago life was very simple; women from all walks of life looked forward to a rewarding and fulfilled life as wife and mother. Motherhood was upheld as a noble and esteemed vocation. Nowadays if one meets a pregnant friend one has not seen in a long time it is natural to ask: is that your nth baby? Then she just might apologetically answer: this is my third one, as if she had just committed a heinous crime to humanity. Pregnant women nowadays are present day martyrs without dying. They face the criticism of society for bringing to earth another mouth to feed; one more person who will use up the earth's limited resources. Dianne N. Irving
Surely it is problematic enough when such "pastoral letters" so mislead the faithful about these issues and lead instead to the false formation of their consciences. Worse, if all of these mis-definitions and ignored items ever make it into law, such a law would thus be riddled with legal loopholes that would legally sanction by default the use of abortifacients, abortion through nine months, In Vitro Fertilization and other artificial reproductive technologies, and the use of human embryos in destructive human embryonic stem cell research - for many sexually and all asexually reproduced human embryos, in vivo or in vitro --, not to mention the deconstruction of natural law.

To be pro-life, stay alive. One secret is good habits and a good routine. Mass, meditation, Scripture, rosary, L' Osservatore Romano weekly. That's million dollar "priest insurance." A.I.R.V.S.C.
Every culture or society has certain dominant ways of viewing an individual in relationship to that culture or society. How individuals are viewed in relationship to culture or society also may change over a period of time. As a certain way gains ascendancy, it will begin to influence how law is understood and interpreted by the courts. Peter J. Cataldo
Is it ethically permissible for spouses, either of whom has been exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or tested seropositive for HIV, to use condoms (of the male or female type) in order to prevent a possible HIV infection resulting from their sexual intercourse? The use of a condom under these circumstances is, in my opinion, contrary to Catholic moral teaching and tradition. Dianne N. Irving
As bioethics supplants traditional ethics before our very eyes, few seem to question its underlying premises. But we should know it for what it is: a form of extreme utilitarianism in both its theoretical and practical forms. It bears no relation to the patient-centered Hippocratic ethics that for nearly 2,500 years required physicians to treat every human being in their care as worthy of respect, no matter how sick or small or weak or disabled. It certainly bears no relation to Catholic medical ethics, which continue the Hippocratic tradition in light of church teachings on moral law. And bioethics offers little concrete guidance to physicians and scientists even on its own terms. Perhaps one of these days, society will come to grips with the moral and practical mess that bioethics has created and come up with something to replace it. This time society will perhaps not rely so heavily on the self-proclaimed scientific and moral experts.
John and Evelyn Billings
The gentle discipline of the Billings Ovulation Method engenders a remarkable development of the relationship between a couple, because the generous acceptance of a time of waiting without intercourse for the sake of the other person, means that they grow in love for each other and are thus motivated to remain faithful. It is only a natural family planning method that can really promote the sexual responsibility that is necessary to protect individuals and stop the epidemic of HIV/AIDS.
