Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life. Afghanistan: 3.7 million children under five at risk of malnutrion
A new UNICEF report warns that 3.7 million Afghan children under the age of five are at risk of malnutrition, urging urgent investment in preventive nutrition measures before the country's annual peak hunger season. Want More Babies? We Need More Friends
The American birthrate has fallen below 1.6 children per woman. Replacement fertility requires about 2.1. The United States is now in its third extended period of below-replacement fertility, after the Great Depression years and a stretch from 1972 to 1989. The current period, though, has lasted longer and fallen lower than either of the previous two. When the year 2000 arrived, we came in about a billion short. I Lived as a Woman for 8 Years. Being 'Transgender' Is a Fantasy
Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one's sexual identity, either XX (female) or XY (male). Cross-sex hormones and surgery cannot change intrinsic sex. The Media Eagerly Take the Wrong Side of the Facts on Girls Sports
Journalists love to boast that they are "Facts First" people, that they are the brave souls seeking out 'truth.' But when it comes to transgenderism, facts go out the window, and truth is triggering. When the Supreme Court upheld state bans on boys in girls sports, NBC anchor Craig Melvin sounded apologetic in live coverage. "Transgender" isn't what you think it is.
"Like a fever that signals an underlying infection, a transgender identity often points to something deeper that deserves attention and exploration." Therapist Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, draws on years of experience to explain what really might be happening when a loved one says "I'm trans." Abortion in the Didache: forbidden by the Apostles
An oft-used argument of those desperate to justify abortion is that there is no mention of abortion in the Bible (which is not totally true). A good rebuttal to this flawed argument is that, while there is no actual use of the word "abortion" in the Bible, there is a specific ruling on abortion in the Didache, the first recorded early Church "catechism." Pope Leo: War is 'fed more easily' than the hungry
"The world today could live without hunger," but "conflicts are 'fed' more easily than people are nourished," Pope Leo XIV said when he visited the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest humanitarian organization, on June 22. Lila Mozingo is a Reminder That People With Down Syndrome Have Tremendous Value

Editorial
If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Robert Malone
Vaccine mandates fundamentally conflict with the core principles of modern bioethics -- autonomy, informed consent, beneficence, and non-maleficence. True consent must be voluntary and free from coercion, deception, or informational manipulation. Steven Mosher
Restricting the abortion pill in the U.S. will save lives both at home and abroad. Michael D. Pfeifer
The Season of Creation is in the spirit of truth a time to do a heart-filled assessment of the situation of Mother Earth which is suffering many abuses and misuses by we humans. This Season is a source of strength and communion, encouraging us to truly hope and act justly with all of creation. We begin in a deep spirit of heartfelt gratitude, thanking our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation. Samantha Stephenson
The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish. Seth C. Oranburg
The Talmudic and rabbinic tradition diverges from the latest encyclical, and the divergence highlights a paradox in the papal logic. Leo XIV's strongest move, his categorical prohibition against the use of AI to make "lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions," demands a more principled distinction between the Switchblade and the CyberKnife.

H.R. 7 goes even further than Hyde in blocking taxpayer funding for abortion. The bill would also prevent federally owned or operated health care facilities from performing abortions and would prohibit physicians and other health care workers employed by the federal government from performing abortion when working in their capacity as government employees. Asia Human Rights
The Philippine government, as party to ICC and numerous international covenants on the protection of human rights, should demonstrate its full commitment to the international human rights system. Kurt Mahlburg
Planned Parenthood made use of $699 million in United States taxpayer funds to perform over 390,000 abortions last year, according to the organisation's recent annual report. The number represents a 5 percent increase from the previous year. Shenan J. Boquet
Every human born is not just another mouth to feed but is an image of God Himself, a spark of the divine on earth, endowed with rationality, and a spiritual soul capable of intimate union with God Himself. At an earthier level, every human being is another potential mother, father, daughter, son, friend, another employee, taxpayer, inventor, and creator. Every human life is a life of inexpressible richness: of triumphs, sorrows, joys, accomplishments. Every human born has the ability to give something to the world that no other person can give.

Location is simply one more of those many factors that make no difference where the most foundational moral principles are concerned. The human embryo is a human being, whether in utero, undergoing cell division in vitro, or temporarily (or permanently) in frozen stasis in a "nursery," as the Alabama Supreme Court tellingly, but somewhat ironically, calls it. Marcus Roberts
When we think of the future population in many western countries, we think of it as getting older, and if not declining, propped up by fairly large scale immigration. We may have to add getting fatter to that list.

Oddly enough, the just-amended legislative "ban" of all human cloning in Florida Bill SB1726 would NOT have banned ANY human cloning any way.

Servile deference to abortion rights has led doctors to think that they are above the law. *Offsite Article
The problem of loneliness among the elderly continues as a growing problem around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic contributes to the number of older adults who are socially isolated including both community-dwelling older adults and nursing home residents. Many countries have issued stay-at-home orders and banned visits for nursing home residents. Excluding the COVID-19 pandemic influence, the number of over-50s experiencing loneliness in Britain alone is set to reach two million by 2025/6. This compares to around 1.4 million in 2016/7 increase in 10 years. In Britain and the United States, roughly one in three people older than 65 live alone. And in the United States, half of those older than 85 live alone. In Japan, the number of elderly people aged 65 or older accounts for 28.4 percent of the 126.4 million total population. This will reach a third by 2050. China, India, Singapore, South Korea and other countries are facing similar problems.

A friend is more than a form of entertainment. The utilitarian way app designers would have us pick friends off a menu reflects quite the opposite approach. Friendships are viewed as more comfortable and more disposable than Allan Bloom, C.S. Lewis, and the Talmud suggest they ought to be.
