Would you belong and pay dues to a foreign organization that is anti-morality and anti-marriage? If not, why do we allow the United States to use our taxpayers' money to pay dues for membership in UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)? “The Scientists” Want To Loosen Definition Of “Brain Death”
Comment: While this loosening of the brain death definition is frightening, we already have non-heartbeating organ donation that does not even require a definition of brain death. And too few organ donor card signers are even aware of either of these issues. On top of this lack of informed consent, we also have more and more states passing laws mandating organ donation for card signers even over family objections. -Nancy Valko, RN More Headlines…

When I first learned that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had lied about how the birth control pill worked, way back in the mid-1970s, I was incredulous. It never occurred to me that a public official or government agency would deny the facts by simply not mentioning them. Boy, was I naïve! ... There is a flurry of news regarding the possibility that reprogrammed cells, from umbilical cord blood, could be an ethical replacement for the research currently being done using human embryonic stem cells.†Since a human embryo must die in order for his or her stem cells to be used, the use of those cells is totally unethical and immoral. So could the news about the reprogrammed cord blood cells be positive or simply another sham? Jeremiah R. Grosse
The doctor-patient relationship is based upon trust. In order for a physician to properly treat a patient it is essential that the patient feel comfortable with his or her doctor so that sensitive and important information be provided. The patient, for his or her part, believes that any information provided to the physician will be kept confidential, provided that the patient has no intention of hurting herself or others. Based upon her professional training and knowledge of a given patient, the physician is in the best situation to whether that person has the capacity to be able to handle difficult or painful information and it is essential that information be provided clearly and in a way that the patient clearly understands what is being said. Lying undermines trust and once that trust is gone the doctor-patient relationship is over. Patrick Guinan
Hippocrates (460-377 BC), acknowledged to be the father of medicine, trained students and taught at the Asklepieion of Kos, a healing temple. He authored many of the books subsequently known as the Hippocratic Corpus. This was a collection of about seventy early medical works compiled by Hippocrates or his disciples, the most important of which was certainly the Hippocratic Oath, written in the latter half of the fourth century BC. In this brief essay, I want to touch on the importance of Greek philosophy, particularly natural law and virtue, in the development of medicine; the place of ethics, or a sense of right and wrong, in medical practice; the value of philanthropia, meaning one's relationship to mankind and, for the physician, the love for one's patients; and the Christian ideal of compassion.

The people are taken from their homeland and brought to a place where they are forced to surrender their faith and customs and required to live among a group of people who have no regard for them. This is confirmed in Psalm 137 when the author writes that the people hung up their harps and wept by the rivers of Babylon as their remembered their lives in Zion. Whenever the people remembered Zion they wept and the author of the psalm asks God to make his right hand wither if he ever forgets about Jerusalem. He asks God to let his tongue cling to the roof of his mouth if he does not prize Jerusalem above his highest joys.
Creation
Commentary on Genesis 1 & 2

Synopsis: The first two chapters of the first book of the bible concern themselves with the genesis of creation. Bear in mind that these chapters are theological, not historical. As such, they reveal theological truths, that is, truths about God and His relationship to creation.

The risk of executing innocent persons is a decisive objection to the institution of capital punishment in the United States. Consequentialist arguments for the death penalty are inconclusive at best; the strongest justification is a retributive one. However, this argument is seriously undercut if a significant risk of executing the innocent exists. Any criminal justice system carries the risk of punishing innocent persons, but the punishment of death is unique and requires greater precautions. Retributive justifications for the death penalty are grounded in respect for innocent victims of homicide; but accepting serious risks of mistaken executions demonstrates disrespect for innocent human life.

For years, Catholic pro-lifers have been warning that abortion, sterilization and contraception cause the collapse of an individual's morality and the destruction of families. Now, demographers are indirectly telling us that these evils are destroying entire nations and continents. Unfortunately, governments do not even acknowledge the root cause of the problem of the "demographic death spiral." An impending white paper by the Japanese government tells us that the "foundations of communities" - police, fire and other basic services - will be threatened by the country's declining birthrate and aging population.

Each person must discover for herself what really is worth pursuing in life. The tragedy would be when one possesses the pearl and finds out it is not the real thing.
