DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

We are not Mother Nature, or God

Catholic bioethics conference to be held at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco

The Philadelphia-based National Catholic Bioethics Center will offer a one-day seminar on Catholic bioethics, Oct. 3, at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco.

Founded in 1972, the Center, says its web site, engages "in education, research, consultation, and publishing to promote and safeguard the dignity of the human person in health care and the life sciences." The Center says it is "unique among bioethics organizations" because "its message derives from the official teaching of the Catholic Church: drawing on the unique Catholic moral tradition that acknowledges the unity of faith and reason and builds on the solid foundation of natural law."
