In this talk presented in June 2011, Dr Gregory Pike reviews the meaning of human dignity, the underlying ideologies and drivers behind the euthanasia movement, the state of the issue in Australia, and the experience of legalised euthanasia internationally.
In this session of Life to the Full: Fr Greg explores the science on an individual life’s beginnings, the Church’s position on IVF methods of conception, and the process of In Vitro Fertilisation itself.
Dr. Deirdre Little discusses the recent scientific and political advances regarding embryo ‘quality checks’; including the history of eugenics throughout the world, the recent resurgence of eugenics through pre-natal screening, the prenatal screening process and the confusion surrounding it, as well as the disturbing trends in the use of screening in the medical profession.
