Ethical Perspectives Doug McManaman
Synopsis: A scientist as scientist cannot answer the question whether the universe has a purpose. The John Templeton Foundation would do just as well to ask an historian, a housewife, or a police officer any of the "Big Questions" it poses to scientists. Rosa Linda G. Valenzona
A century ago life was very simple; women from all walks of life looked forward to a rewarding and fulfilled life as wife and mother. Motherhood was upheld as a noble and esteemed vocation. Nowadays if one meets a pregnant friend one has not seen in a long time it is natural to ask: is that your nth baby? Then she just might apologetically answer: this is my third one, as if she had just committed a heinous crime to humanity. Pregnant women nowadays are present day martyrs without dying. They face the criticism of society for bringing to earth another mouth to feed; one more person who will use up the earth's limited resources. Dianne N. Irving
Surely it is problematic enough when such "pastoral letters" so mislead the faithful about these issues and lead instead to the false formation of their consciences. Worse, if all of these mis-definitions and ignored items ever make it into law, such a law would thus be riddled with legal loopholes that would legally sanction by default the use of abortifacients, abortion through nine months, In Vitro Fertilization and other artificial reproductive technologies, and the use of human embryos in destructive human embryonic stem cell research - for many sexually and all asexually reproduced human embryos, in vivo or in vitro --, not to mention the deconstruction of natural law.

We have to reclaim our sense of sin. Sometimes we lose our sense of sin together with the loss of our childhood concepts of sin. As we grow more mature, our sense of sin should also develop. Rebecca Taylor
Many believe that advances in cloning and stem cell research, as well as their ethical implications, are recent developments. Actually we have been careening down a slippery slope toward a biotechnical "brave new world" for quite some time. This will be an unpopular topic for many Catholics, but to ignore the path that has led to our current dilemmas would be to side-step issues that have led us to the reality of human cloning.

It is the first anniversary of your young daughter's kidnapping and presumed death, and you are sitting at home lost in your thoughts of your precious little one and what might have been. In the middle of the night the telephone rings and on the other end of the line is your daughter's assailant, identifying himself by the information he reveals about your daughter. He is still at large and he has called to taunt and torment you. How would you react? Charles J. Chaput
The death penalty is a bad idea because it diminishes the society that employs it. It doesn't deter capital crime. It doesn't bring back the dead. It doesn't give anyone "peace." It sometimes kills the innocent. It coarsens our own humanity and sense of justice. Richard J. Fehring
According to an article in The Alan Guttmacher Institute's journal, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, the Today contraceptive sponge is back on the market.
