God may or may not have created limbo so man, always eager to improve on God’s work, created it. Due to the widespread use of In Vitro Fertilization of which the Church does not approve, hundreds of thousands of “spare” or “extra” embryos now exist in a man-made refrigerated limbo. This is nothing short of a horror. And of course, the natural question that comes to mind is: Can they be rescued? While our instincts to preserve life might make the answer seem easy, it isn’t. According to Church teaching keeping the embryos frozen, implanting them in a woman’s womb,...

The question of what to do with the frozen...

The President and the First Lady spent the weekend at Camp David, the President no doubt working on his State of the Union address.

Although there were no public engagements or those that were photographed anyway obviously the President has been hard at work today probably putting finishing touches/practicing his State of the Union address which he...

In an interview with George Stephanopoulus, Michael J Fox admitted two things that need to be addressed. First, that he hasn't read the contents of the Missouri's Stem Cell Amendment. Second, that embryonic stem cell research does boil down to trading one life to save another.

Defying the will of Congress (remember these votes in November!), President Bush sent a veto message (read the president's message here), that he would not sign HR 810, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005." President Bush addressed the situation in Lebanon while meeting with members of Congress in the White House. Secretary of State Rice met at the State Department today: New Zealand's Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peres, and Belgium's Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht. Next week she is scheduled to attend Southeast Asia's top security forum.
