This dogma was first introduced by Pope Pius IX in 1869, ending centuries of policy inspired by Thomas Aquinas, which considered that embryos did not acquire a soul until later in their development.

Baloney. Aquinas and Augustine conjectured, there was no definitive "policy". Also, from the first century the Church has always taught that abortion is a grave sin.

“The instruction Dignitas Personae not only condemns embryonic stem cell research, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) but also formalizes its many previous positions including banning human cloning to produce embryonic stem cells, and human–animal cloned chimaeras.”

Don’t forget that appendectomies flout God’s will by cheating Heaven of souls due it. Is Dignitas Personae a plot to eliminate the faith from all countries with a literacy rate?
