Editorial
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.

We need philosophical arguments to counter the empty voluntarism of our time, and this is a challenge the Church should meet head-on.

Kathleen and Ron have been foster parents for most of their 35 years of marriage, and in addition to raising four children of their own, they have now fostered over 200 children. Throughout those years, they have seen atrocities that most people cannot even imagine, but the love and joy they have brought to children and their families is immeasurable. Philip Irvin

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.

"Dr. Goldberg said, for some couples 'losing a normal pregnancy secondary to the procedure is not as problematic as the birth of a Down syndrome child, so they're willing to take that risk.'"

If life-shortening and deliberate interventions to kill infants were available, they might have an impact on obstetric decision-making,' the college writes in a submission to the Nuffield Council on Bioethics".

We mustn't lose hope that reason will prevail over lust in the field of regenerative medicine. Where scientific genius is guided by good morals, remarkably good things can happen. Shinya Yamanaka's breakthrough with iPS cells in 2007 is merely the most recent example. Thomas Anthony Cavanaugh
Physician-assisted suicide pithily and precisely names the act of a doctor prescribing a lethal drug at his terminally ill patient's request. However, its advocates reject this name and propose euphemisms in its place, such as "death with dignity" and "end of life option." These amount to advertisements for the disputed practice and ought to be rejected as imprecise, inaccurate, and jargonistic. Genocide in Burma

The news published in the journal Nature, 27 February 1997, about the birth of the sheep Dolly through the efforts of the Scottish scientists Jan Vilmut and K.H.S. Campbell and their team at Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, however, had an unusual effect on public opinion and led to statements being issued by committees and national and international authorities: this happened because it was something new and was considered troubling. ...Now that some time has passed, it would be useful in a more detached way to examine closely the fact that has been noted as a disturbing event.

If it is true that we only really know ourselves in community, especially and above all in the first and smaller community of the family, then we really do come to a deeper understanding of ourselves when we come to know the lives of the saints, because we come to a deeper understanding of our own larger family, our own siblings.

If the game were chess, Planned Parenthood would have just checkmated the king. The Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood appears to have stalled again. Thanks to an all-but-salivating media, PP has won the contest of words and public perception. Dianne N. Irving
As a former research biochemist at NIH, and a Ph.D. philosopher/bioethicist, I am writing to express my concern about your intended use of the term "pre-embryo" in your fifth edition of The Developing Human. ... I find it alarming that so many heretofore critical definitions based solely on highly debatable philosophical, sociological, political, ethical, etc., criteria - and especially those "definitions" that couldn't "make it" in their own fields - are now more and more seeking scientific data and conclusions for their very justification. In fact, I wonder if such extra-scientific influences are not beginning to "prejudice" the very data and conclusions of pure science itself - and hence this letter of concern to you.
