Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...

Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another. Ronald Rolheiser
Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.

Today, despite the progressive emphasis on a multiplicity of 'communities', there is less community feeling than ever before. If not for this progressive policy of 'divide and rule', our own times might be just as neighbourly as in the past, when we were encouraged to prize what we had in common rather than dwelling on our differences. Shenan J. Boquet
The new law permits an adult to request death if he or she is a French citizen or stable legal resident, suffers from a serious and incurable illness that is advanced and life-threatening, experiences physical or psychological suffering deemed unbearable or resistant to treatment, and is judged capable of making a free and informed decision. Lori Hadacek Chaplin

Tragedy or Tissue?
The Contradictory Ways We Talk about the Unborn John Stonestreet
If it weren't so jarring and tragic, the contradictory laws and language tolerated in our country about abortion would be laughable. Steven Mosher
While developing countries are in dire need of everything from PPE, ventilators, and public health assistance (not to mention food and emergency loans), how has the government of Sweden chosen to respond to this crisis? It has committed $2 million to provide condoms and abortion equipment in sub-Saharan Africa. Judie Brown
We feel sorrow for those who do not understand this basic truth of human existence. We ask the Lord to touch such people with His merciful reminder that there is never life without death and there is never joy without sorrow, but there is always, in every situation, God's love and peace. Dianne N. Irving
This is a short but serious comment about the critical need for today's young people to be able to do simple Aristotelean Logic -- to be able to think straight -- for their own good. Young people need to learn how to find the causes of harms to them and where those causes necessarily take them, not just wallow in the harmful consequential effects, with no possibility of changing things harmful to them for the better. Steven Mosher
President Bush missed an opportunity to spotlight one of China's most widespread and serious human rights abuses, but a very different politician did not. Kurt Mahlburg

Angelina Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy made headlines around the world. But is she sending women the right message? Brian Clowes
It is nearly impossible for those with children to comprehend the depth of the suffering of those who would love to have their own kids but cannot because of infertility. Matthew J. Franck
