From The Unthinkable, Through The Debatable, By The Justifiable, Establishing The Unexceptionable!

"Scientists believe that one way to obtain the matched cells needed to study diseases is to use a cell from an adult afflicted with that disease to create a genetically matched embryo and extract its stem cells. This approach — known as somatic cell nuclear transfer — is difficult, and no one has yet done it." Oh, right, "somatic cell nuclear transfer"—cloning and then killing.

Fr. Richard J. Neuhaus's voice still rings clear: "Thousands of medical ethicists and bioethics, as they are called, professionally guide the unthinkable on its passage through the debatable on the way to becoming the justifiable until it is finally established as the unexceptionable."

Reviving Hope In A Dispirited Generation

"Tell people only what they must do, and you will numb them into despair; you will turn the gospel into a shabby replica of the world's irreligious and nagging moralism, with its oceanfuls of good advice. But tell them what they are, of their dignity as made in the image of God, and that their sins are wicked perversions of their nature; . . . tell them that the world with all its horrors is still God's world, though its true order is upside down; tell them that they can do all things through Christ, because in him all the powers of their nature are directed to fruition . . . and you will help to revive hope in this dispirited generation."
