Rome (Fides Service) - "The frontiers of life: a confrontation between science, ethics and law" was the title of a convention promoted by the Italian Associations Famiglia Domani e Fiducia, (Family Tomorrow and Trust), held in Rome 25 and 26 October. Participants from various countries included medical, juridical, theological and ethical experts. In fact human life is not only a technical matter it involves all these areas. The purpose of the convention was to inform public opinion, often influenced and misled by superficial publicists and secular bio-ethics which separate the technical aspect from the moral issues of the question and reduce the legal to anything materially possible. Those present called for an ethical and juridical statute to defend human life from conception to natural death, to protect it from ideologies and interests and restore it to divine providence and the care of man. We give here a brief report on the convention.
