Netherlands Allows Euthanizing Newborn Babies, Canada Could be Next
The question before us is not merely about alleviating suffering, expanding choice, or any other rationale used to end the lives of those who require protection; it is first and foremost about moral principles. If human dignity is deemed unimportant, conditional, or dependent on cognitive ability, independence, or perceived quality of life, then no one is truly safe. Once we deny some human beings their status as moral persons, legal protections inevitably erode for everyone. More Headlines…

Editorial
Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

When all is said and done, God has designed the procreative acts of parents as the best and most ethical way to bring children into the world. For those who are unable to conceive on their own, there are alternatives that do not include accepting babies created in petri dishes, filtered for flaws and discarded like trash. Joshua Arnold
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons breaks ranks, urging gender transition surgeries for minors be delayed amid low-quality evidence, ethical concerns, and growing recognition of irreversible harms. Douglas McManaman
The developmentally disabled are not productive in the way we typically employ that word, but what these people do, whether we are talking about Alzheimer's patients, or Down Syndrome children, developmentally disabled people, etc., is they provide us with the opportunity to love them for their own sake, to learn to love human beings for their sake alone, not for the sake of what they can do for me or for society at large. Jay W. Richards
Basic decency provides more than enough grounds for Christians to oppose hateful and irrational attacks against Jews and Israel. We should treat these episodes as tests of our courage and discernment, because that's exactly what they are. Judie Brown
We have spent decades working to help our brothers and sisters discern the simple fact that when a man and a woman procreate a child, that human being is as deserving of life as her parents. It seems simple enough, but as we know, rhetorical machinations, false science, and skewed marketing have resulted in a literal bloodbath, taking the lives of millions of preborn babies.

LGBTQ mental health hasn't improved since the US Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage. *Offsite Article
Pornography on the Internet has exploded into millions of pornographic websites. Currently, it is a booming industry of nearly 100 billion dollars. Internet pornography invades homes and destroys good families without any accountability to anyone. Early this afternoon, I count 36 phonographic emails in my computer's mailbox, and there are still 10 hours left in the day. This, my friends, is a daily occurrence. Just one click on any of these emails will allow me unrestricted private access to their pornographic website. This simple procedure is also available to the fingertips of small children. The porn companies "without any moral principles" have opened the doors to Net porn, instantly allowing our innocent young generation of all ages to view both soft and hard pornography. Their sole purpose is the almighty dollar.

Such an important issue requires a high level of ethical sensitivity. Melissa Moschella
Articulating and responding to common misconceptions concerning the ethics of abortion will help to clarify and advance the debate, moving past misleading slogans to engage in a forthright and respectful public dialogue in the wake of Dobbs, and seeking to build a genuine culture of life that supports the needs of both women and children.

What is interesting is that fertility rates are lowest among women who are educated and receive higher incomes in many countries around the world. Charles J. Chaput
It's important for our own integrity and the integrity of our country to fight for our pro-life convictions in the public square. Anything less is a kind of cowardice. But it's even more important to live what it means to be genuinely human and "pro-life" by our actions - fidelity to God; love for spouse and children; loyalty to friends; generosity to the poor; honesty and mercy in dealing with others; trust in the goodness of people; discipline and humility in demanding the most from ourselves. Xavier Symons
Scientists in the United States have managed to revive brain cells in a group of dead pigs, challenging current scientific beliefs about the irreversibility of brain damage and raising questions about brain-based definitions of death. Judie Brown
Our right to life is so important that it is mentioned in one of our country's most important documents. But is this right negated when the life to be defended is considered undesirable? The amount of preborn babies killed because they may be born with Down syndrome is frightening.
