Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life. Afghanistan: 3.7 million children under five at risk of malnutrion
A new UNICEF report warns that 3.7 million Afghan children under the age of five are at risk of malnutrition, urging urgent investment in preventive nutrition measures before the country's annual peak hunger season. Want More Babies? We Need More Friends
The American birthrate has fallen below 1.6 children per woman. Replacement fertility requires about 2.1. The United States is now in its third extended period of below-replacement fertility, after the Great Depression years and a stretch from 1972 to 1989. The current period, though, has lasted longer and fallen lower than either of the previous two. When the year 2000 arrived, we came in about a billion short. I Lived as a Woman for 8 Years. Being 'Transgender' Is a Fantasy
Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one's sexual identity, either XX (female) or XY (male). Cross-sex hormones and surgery cannot change intrinsic sex. The Media Eagerly Take the Wrong Side of the Facts on Girls Sports
Journalists love to boast that they are "Facts First" people, that they are the brave souls seeking out 'truth.' But when it comes to transgenderism, facts go out the window, and truth is triggering. When the Supreme Court upheld state bans on boys in girls sports, NBC anchor Craig Melvin sounded apologetic in live coverage. "Transgender" isn't what you think it is.
"Like a fever that signals an underlying infection, a transgender identity often points to something deeper that deserves attention and exploration." Therapist Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, draws on years of experience to explain what really might be happening when a loved one says "I'm trans." Abortion in the Didache: forbidden by the Apostles
An oft-used argument of those desperate to justify abortion is that there is no mention of abortion in the Bible (which is not totally true). A good rebuttal to this flawed argument is that, while there is no actual use of the word "abortion" in the Bible, there is a specific ruling on abortion in the Didache, the first recorded early Church "catechism." Pope Leo: War is 'fed more easily' than the hungry
"The world today could live without hunger," but "conflicts are 'fed' more easily than people are nourished," Pope Leo XIV said when he visited the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest humanitarian organization, on June 22. Lila Mozingo is a Reminder That People With Down Syndrome Have Tremendous Value

Editorial
If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Robert Malone
Vaccine mandates fundamentally conflict with the core principles of modern bioethics -- autonomy, informed consent, beneficence, and non-maleficence. True consent must be voluntary and free from coercion, deception, or informational manipulation. Steven Mosher
Restricting the abortion pill in the U.S. will save lives both at home and abroad. Michael D. Pfeifer
The Season of Creation is in the spirit of truth a time to do a heart-filled assessment of the situation of Mother Earth which is suffering many abuses and misuses by we humans. This Season is a source of strength and communion, encouraging us to truly hope and act justly with all of creation. We begin in a deep spirit of heartfelt gratitude, thanking our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation. Samantha Stephenson
The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish. Seth C. Oranburg
The Talmudic and rabbinic tradition diverges from the latest encyclical, and the divergence highlights a paradox in the papal logic. Leo XIV's strongest move, his categorical prohibition against the use of AI to make "lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions," demands a more principled distinction between the Switchblade and the CyberKnife.

As Beijing continues to vigorously pursue its infamous one-child policy, PRI has gathered evidence showing that Chinese villagers who cannot afford to pay these fines have their "illegal" children abducted and sold by Chinese population control officials. *Offsite Article
I'm a third-year junior high student in Japan. My name is Aoi. Every morning I wake up and check my phone before I get out of bed. I use LINE to talk to my classmates, Instagram to see pictures, and occasionally Twitter when I want to see what people are saying about school or shows. I like being connected - it helps me stay close to friends and know what's happening. But sometimes the messages and posts don't feel friendly. On one occasion, an individual posted derogatory comments about a girl in our class. People started replying and laughing. It spread quickly, and the girl looked hurt and stopped going to club activities. On another occasion, a classmate created a fake media profile mocking a shy 13-year-old boy, posted altered photos, and spread false rumors. The boy withdrew from his friends, missed school, and developed anxiety. These incidents show how online behavior can hurt people's feelings, change their daily lives, or even lead to suicide.
Asia Human Rights
The resolution is based on a strategy aimed at preventing grave human rights violations. For many years Sri Lanka has successfully evaded taking responsibility for dealing with the violations that have been committed in the country. The present government took up the position of opposing virtually any collaborative efforts in dealing with these problems. Official Documents
Excerpts from paragraphs 2276-2279 on Euthanasia and paragraphs 2280-2283 on Suicide Steven Mosher
Filling our bodies with powerful, steroid-based hormones has never been a good idea. Spreading such hormones in nature may be an even worse one. Read about another downside of abortifacient birth control. R. J. Snell
Perhaps ours is the last generation with recognizable bodies, but it would be quite terrible if these new bodies were incapable of fully human lives, however insecure and vulnerable these lives of ours may be. Margaret Somerville
The human germline is the genetic essence of human life. It's the genes passed on from generation to generation that have evolved over billions of years since the advent of life on Earth which have resulted in each of us. We can now alter an embryo's germline genes and all descendants of that embryo will inherit those alterations. Is that ethical? Debi Vinnedge
Scientist, Elias Zambidis, from Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering and the Kimmel Cancer Center explained that they took cord blood cells, treated them with growth factors, transferred four genes into them and voila, they reprogrammed the cells to the stage of a six-day old embryo. ... "What they did not reveal was that they used 20-22 week gestation aborted fetal liver and lung in that reprogramming which were obtained from AllCells and Lonza Biologics," ... also used stem cells from destroyed human embryos. Dianne N. Irving
The abuse of language, especially scientific "language", has shrouded clear facts about precisely when the "first moment of its existence is", and has hastened this drastic decline in the respect for human life. It is not just because of the willful and devious use of language by ardent supporters of unethical medicine and research, but also because even many of those who are dedicated to this "safeguarding" themselves fall victim to the use of erroneous "scientific" terms. There are a number of ways that the misuse of simple scientific "language" can slip into our rhetoric and our thinking processes without notice. Shannon Roberts
As fertility plummets, could their fate be a warning to us?
