Ontario Gov’t Panel Urges Funding In Vitro Fertilization for all, Including Singles by LifeSiteNews.com By Patrick B. Craine August 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – ‘Assisted reproduction’ (AR), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), should be funded by the province, says Ontario’s government-appointed ‘expert’ panel on infertility and adoption in a report released yesterday. The government, further, should fund the freezing of embryos because they “reduce costs,” and all Ontarians, they say, should have access to AR, including single men through “gestational carriers.” The panel, chaired by University of Waterloo president David Johnston, was initiated by the McGuinty government in June 2008 […]

College football player saves the life of a road maintenance worker with stem cells

There’s an uplifting story in last week’s New York Times about Matt Hoffman, a college football player with Rowan University in New Jersey, who saved the life of a complete stranger in Texas by offering an adult stem cell transplant. The recipient, Warren Sallach, was dying from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma when the National Marrow Donor Program matched Hoffman to Sallach. Hoffman skipped the final game of his junior year to be able to go through with the procedure. After a year of forced anonymity by the donor network, both donor and recipient are now good friends. Hoffman is hoping to become […]

Treatment of Depression Decreases Suicide Study Indicates: Findings Linked to Euthanasia Prevention by LifeSiteNews.com By Elizabeth O’Brien SEATTLE, Washington, July 6, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A recent Health Group study indicates that treating depression decreases suicide rates, and that the success of the treatment is not heavily dependent on the type of treatment—whether medication, psychotherapy or both. Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, emphasized the importance of this link between depression and suicide since it bears directly on the sadness and loss of hope that often leads people to choose euthanasia as well.

“It’s a Wrongful Life”?

Last week, a Belgian appellate court approved, for the first time, the concept of “wrongful life,” finding doctors liable for not discovering a child’s disability before birth. The court held that it would have been in the child’s best interest to be aborted. How would it be in anyone’s best interest to die?   The Court stated that, “of course, the diagnosis error did not cause the handicap of the child, that preexisted,…nevertheless, the damage must be remedied.”  Thus, according to the Begian Court, the child, by the voice of its parents, can claim repair to the doctors because, by […]

Pro-life groups have rallied behind the bill, hoping to get it passed so it will be sent to committee where the language can be tightened up. The bill is fundamentally about protecting the choice of those women who decide to keep their babies.  It should gain support from any MP claiming to be “pro-choice”, and not merely the pro-life MPs.

The best way to celebrate Christmas

As we enter the second half of Advent, the liturgy focuses more specifically on the Incarnation and birth of Jesus at the first Christmas. We think about Mary’s initial fear and uncertainty in the face of her unexpected pregnancy. Then, in every Church in the world, believers spiritually rush to her side to eagerly await with her the birth of the Savior. The best way for a parish to celebrate Christmas is to rush physically to the side of those in the community who, like Mary, are uncertain and afraid about their pregnancy. We are to accompany them through their […]

Guided by the idea of a “living constitution,” Brennan made his own singular contributions to crafting a constitutional and cultural revolution in the United States from his bench on the nation’s highest court. Sullivan’s analysis of Brennan’s legacy is prompted by a new biography of Brennan, Justice Brennan: Liberal Champion, by Seth Stern and Stephen Wermiel. The authors write that Brennan […]
