CDF’s New Document on Bioethics

The Holy See’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith has just released a new doctrinal document titled “Instruction Dignitas Personae on Certain Bioethical Questions” which deals with a number of questions and provides a moral analysis of a number of relatively new bioethical issues relating to procreation and genetic treatment.

The document is on the Vatican Web Site.

A small sampling of the hateful reaction to the new document can be found here: “Pope Benedict XVI under-fire for ‘negative’ statements.”
