Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

This is a test. Answer this typical diversity question, "What are your preferred pronouns?" The correct answer is "None." I do not have any pronouns that are based on my preferences. My pronouns are based on biology. Rod Lampard

Growing access to IVF and surrogacy raises serious ethical concerns - from exploitation of young women and donor identity risks, to the destruction of millions of embryos. Douglas McManaman
In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals."

Basic biology reveals the truth, and of course, the word of God tells us the truth as well: Barring a chromosomal abnormality, gender is either male or female. There is no third gender. Or fourth, fifth, sixth, or so on. So we return to the simple truth that, without an understanding of God, nature, and the human person, anything goes. And it does. Gender choice is not the end, but it does remind us that once man loses his sense of God, the human person is a mere thing to be disrespected, manipulated, and killed. Michael Cook
A gay couple in Britain made history recently when all three of their surrogate mothers presented them with babies within seven months of each other. Daryl Lee, 41, and Luke Harris, 50, had been in a civil partnership for years and had always dreamed of having a family. Douglas McManaman
What makes a good marriage? Most people would think it somewhat similar to the question: "What makes a good vacation?" The criterion for the latter is, of course, enjoyment. Did we enjoy ourselves? Did we get to see and experience lots? Was it exciting? Would you go again? What makes a "good marriage" would have to be congruent with that which "makes a marriage" in the first place, and what "makes" a marriage is the conjugal intention of the couple. Kurt Mahlburg
Today, major corporations scramble over each other to sell us their woke credentials, in an apparent fading interest in the products they were originally known for. Now, it seems, these companies are more eager to advertise their opinions on voter laws, pronouns, green new deals and whatever else woke activists decide matters most this month.

Democracies across the world are defined by the virtue of the right to protest. Yet, in India, that fancies itself as the largest democracy of the world, the governments are seen to be chipping off that very right by raising the bogey of public inconvenience. They have mobilised people, mostly their party members, to even physically attack such protests including in one case by a gun wielding man firing at peaceful and unarmed protestors. Xavier Symons
The UK Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynacologists has barred doctors and nurses from qualifications if they refuse to prescribe or administer contraceptives to patients. Tom Bartolomeo
As the human body needs to replace its aging cells for the physical health of the body the human soul needs to replenish its pro-creative male or female powers for the spiritual growth and health of the whole person. These powers continuously enhance and renew themselves in a variety of pro-creative activities not only as fathers and mothers but as teachers and students, doctors and patients, priests and laity - as benefactors and beneficiaries bound together. In the mercy and Spirit of Christ it may be the recovery of God in man and man in God.

As incredulous and arrogant as it is, today the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) actually "celebrated" the 25th anniversary of the formal "birth of bioethics" established by the Belmont Report(1978), formally honoring those Commissioners and Staff involved. ... Yet few people still seem to realize that this legislative "feat" was originally accomplished through the Congressional mandates of the 1974 National Research Act. This Act mandated that then-Secretary Casper Weinberg of DHEW (now DHHS) appoint a "commission" to "identify the ethical principles" the U.S. government should use in issues relating to the use of "human subjects". Weinberg then appointed 11 people to the National Commission to make this auspicious decision, many of whom were honored today in this "celebration" at DHHS.
