“The endeavor of scientific research to see events in their more general connection in order to determine their laws, is a legitimate and useful occupation. Any protest against such efforts, in the name of freefom from restrictive conditions, would be fruitless if science did not naïvely identify the abstractions called rules and laws with the actually efficacious forces, and confuse the probability that B will follow A with the actual effort make B follow A.” IfsWould BeLawOrderNamesForceEffortConditionsEventsResearchConnectionsDetermineProtestOccupationEndeavorProbabilityAbstractionScientific Research Author:Max Horkheimer

“Based on technological research and the transformation of nature, industrialization constantly goes forward, giving proof of incessant creativity. While certain enterprises develop and are concentrated, others die or change their location. Thus new social problems are created: professional or regional unemployment, redeployment and mobility of persons, permanent adaptation of workers and disparity of conditions in the different branches of industry.” GivingPersonsDifferentProblemCertainDiesSocialCreativityConditionsIndustryResearchTransformationWorkersProofPermanentBranchesEnterpriseConsumerismTechnologicalLocationUnemploymentAdaptationOverconsumptionMobilityIncessantDisparitySocial ProblemsIndustrialization Author:Pope Paul VI

“Many good Christians are confused about complex social issues of our day, such as doctor-assisted death or medical research which uses stem cells from human embryos. They wonder, 'Why shouldn't science use discarded fetuses for research?' And if someone finds his medical condition intolerable and hopeless, 'why shouldn't he have the legal right to end his life?' Although the Bible does not address these issues in particular, it does provide guiding insights.” IfsHumansDoeEndsUseChristianSocialWonderIssuesConditionsParticularResearchDoctorsComplexesInsightMedicalCellsConfusedAddressesHopelessStemSocial IssuesDiscardedGood ChristianStem CellEmbryosFetusMedical ResearchMedical Conditions Author:Joni Eareckson Tada
