Cloning
This document discusses cloning and how it can be used to produce genetically identical individuals through reproductive cloning, creating artificial identical twins, or for therapeutic purposes through stem cell harvesting without allowing the cloned embryo to develop into a fetus in order to generate tissue for medical use.
Class #05
I. The document discusses Humanae Vitae, which addressed artificial birth control and concluded that it should not be used based on natural law. It also asks if artificial birth control can ever be used and compares natural family planning (NFP) to artificial contraception.
II. It explores different perspectives on birth control between Ruether & Heaney and the Pope. It discusses what is considered natural and different understandings of sex in marriage.
III. It questions whether Ann LeBlanc is a "bad Catholic" for potentially disagreeing with Church teaching on birth control and explores the relationship between authority, truth, and an informed conscience in regards to dissenting from Church doctrine.

Religion plays an important but often neglected role in international affairs and solutions. While it was once viewed as irrelevant by state leaders, religiously motivated groups like Al Qaeda have changed perceptions. However, analyzing conflicts only through a religious lens can oversimplify issues and ignore political and historical contexts. To be part of solutions, religious actors and contexts must be understood and included in discussions, as several global interfaith peace movements have shown. Local religious communities in particular can promote civility and development, though they are often overlooked by policymakers who focus only on high-level documents and statements. Religious influences must be properly understood and actors included to overcome simplistic views and harness religion's positive potential.
Dignitatis humanae

1) Todas as pessoas têm o direito de buscar a verdade religiosa e praticar sua fé livremente e publicamente, respeitando a ordem pública.
2) Grupos religiosos devem ter liberdade para organizar e praticar sua fé, ensinar publicamente e adquirir bens.
3) Famílias têm o direito de educar seus filhos de acordo com suas conv
Vatican ii modernerarevised
The document discusses the key events and outcomes of Vatican II and the papacies of John Paul II and Francis. Vatican II was the most recent ecumenical council that took place from 1962-1965, producing 16 documents. It addressed issues like the role of bishops, liturgical renewal, ecumenism, and an active role for laity. John Paul II had one of the longest papacies and was known as the pilgrim pope for his extensive international travels. He emphasized universal holiness and a New Evangelization. Pope Francis was elected in 2013 after Benedict XVI became the first pope to retire in centuries.
Social Doctrine of the Church and Encyclicals
The document outlines the social doctrines of the Catholic Church, including 7 principles/themes of Catholic social teaching: life and dignity of the human person, call to family and community, rights and responsibilities, option for the poor and vulnerable, dignity of work and rights of workers, solidarity, and care for God's creation. It also lists several papal encyclicals that address Catholic social teaching, such as Rerum Novarum, Centesimus Annus, Caritas in Veritate, and Laudato Si'.
Presentation Human Dignity
The document discusses the concept of human dignity from several perspectives:
1) It is recognized in the preamble of international agreements like the UN charter and the EU charter of fundamental rights as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace.
2) It is defined as the intrinsic and absolute value of all human beings.
3) The concept has been criticized as being ambiguous, anthropocentric, ethnocentric, and sometimes useless for addressing modern ethical issues. However, it remains a core philosophical framework for understanding human rights and political order.
Dignity of the human person
The document discusses the concept of human dignity from several perspectives. It argues that all human persons have equal fundamental worth and dignity regardless of attributes like age, gender, religion or race. While humans share a common humanity, each person is also unique. It then examines notions of human dignity in Christian teachings from the Bible and how respect for human dignity requires upholding basic human rights for all.

Stemcells2
Embryonic stem cell research is controversial due to differing views on the moral status of embryos. Opponents view embryos as equal to humans and deserving of rights, while proponents argue embryos lack traits like consciousness. Most embryos used in research come from IVF clinics, not abortions, and would otherwise be discarded. While adult stem cells are an alternative, embryonic stem cells have greater potential due to being pluripotent and able to become any cell type. Overall the debate involves weighing the potential medical benefits against ethical considerations around embryo use and destruction.

Bioethics regarding human stem cell research
This slide presentation is about the Bioethics behind the human stem cell and its medical progress so far.
Ethicsandcriticalthinking
The document discusses critical thinking and its application to ethics and bioethics. It defines critical thinking as the identification and evaluation of evidence to guide decision making. When applying critical thinking to ethics and bioethics, there may not be a single right answer and individuals' values and premises must be acknowledged. Various models for teaching critical thinking in ethics and bioethics are presented, including mapping out issues, stakeholders, values and reasoning. An example on using aborted female fetuses as a source of eggs for fertility treatment is provided to demonstrate applying critical thinking.
Essay On Stem Cells
This document summarizes an article about isolating and studying cancer stem cells from pleural effusions in breast cancer patients. Doctors were able to isolate cancer stem cells and non-cancer stem cells from pleural fluid samples. They studied how fast each type of cell formed tumors to better understand cancer metastasis. The study identified cancer stem cells in some samples using markers like ALDH1 and CD44+CD24, which could help evaluate treatment options.
Ethical Issues in Developmental Biology Research
This document discusses several ethical issues in developmental biology research. It begins with definitions of key terms like ethics, bioethics, and developmental biology. It then outlines several tensions in the field including the use of human biological material for research, human reproductive technologies, determining the onset of human life, and creating human-animal hybrids. The document examines these issues in more depth providing examples of stem cell research, cloning, and assisted reproductive technologies. It considers ethical perspectives on these topics and concludes that the ends and means of science require ethical oversight to guide research in this important area.
HCS 340 Stem Cells Paper
Stem cell research has the potential to treat diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes, and heart disease. However, it is controversial due to differing opinions on when human life begins. Those against embryonic stem cell research believe life begins at conception and that this research destroys human embryos. The Catholic Church and some ethicists oppose embryonic stem cell research for these reasons. Others argue the high costs do not justify funding this over established treatments like cancer research. However, supporters believe this research could lead to medical advancements and that embryos are a cluster of cells, not life. Religions have varying views as well on the ethics of this research.
Presentation1
This document discusses abortion as a complex issue with many factors to consider. It touches on types of abortion, views on being pro-life or pro-choice, women's rights, how abortion is viewed by society, and actions taken to voice opinions on abortion. Potential questions are outlined that could be addressed, such as how abortion is performed, safety, whether it is considered murder, and adoption versus abortion. Sources of research and resources on abortion are also provided.
Bioethics
The document discusses several topics related to bioethics, including stem cell research. It explains that stem cells can repair and replace damaged cells, and have been used to treat conditions like Alzheimer's, heart disease, and spinal cord injuries. However, stem cell research is controversial as it involves the use of embryonic stem cells, which some believe requires the destruction of embryos. Religious views and the debate around what constitutes playing God with human life are also discussed.
BIOETHICS.ppt
This document provides an overview of global bioethics day and various topics in bioethics. It discusses what bioethics is, including that it refers to the study of ethical issues arising from healthcare, biology and medicine. It also notes key topics in bioethics include death and dying, reproduction issues, cloning, stem cell research, genetics, resource allocation and experimentation. Specific issues discussed in more depth include artificial reproductive technologies, human cloning, stem cell research and genetics.
Stem Cell Research Power Point
Know the difference between fertilization and conception; Understand why a fish-like embryo cannot exist in a Petri dish; Explore why a fertilized egg is not necessarily an embryo; See why scientists need to explore all the possibilities of stem cells without limiting federal funding to exclude blastocysts.

Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies
Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.
)
As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?
In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.
This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.
Describe the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved.
Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the research subjects.

To Clone or not to Clone The Ethical Question Joseph Farnsw.docx
This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding human cloning. It begins by introducing a scenario where a couple is in a car accident and the husband is left in a vegetative state, unable to have children. The wife hears of cloning as a way to have his children. The document then defines human cloning as using somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce a genetically identical human. It outlines some potential medical benefits of cloning like organ transplants and rejuvenation, but also potential harms around individuality and genetic variation. Both sides of the ethical debate around cloning are presented, with arguments for allowing it to help infertile couples and further research, and against it due to unknown risks and its violation of natural reproduction. The document concludes that each
Ethical issues associated with fertility treatment
Dr. Chris Willmott gave a presentation on the ethical issues associated with fertility treatment. He discussed various fertility procedures like IVF, egg/embryo donation, and surrogacy. He also outlined some of the debates around who should have access to treatment, how many embryos should be transferred, the fate of leftover embryos, genetic screening of embryos, and resource allocation issues. The talk examined arguments both for and against different procedures from various ethical perspectives.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 2. Which one of the procedures that you read about for today (regarding stem cells or cloning) do you regard as most morally problematic? For whatever one you choose, say how the Church would view it and then comment on the Church’s view. vt
Editor's Notes
- First put them into groups of 3 with cards Ask them to rank from most morally problematic to least (left right) Have them join with another group of 3 and come up with a common list Decide what you’d make illegal Then put on board (left right) Draw line where you’d make something illegal Hear from each group What values went into your ranking? For whatever we make illegal, what’s the role of religion? Is this Myers/Cuomo? Cardinal Rigali speaks about bishops writing to congress to express their views—is that okay?
