The\u00a0Pontifical Academy of Life<\/a>\u00a0is holding a two-day workshop 25-26 June. Pope Francis met with the participants on Monday and shared his thoughts with them regarding the theme:\u00a0Equal Beginnings. But then? A global responsibility<\/b>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Science at the service of life<\/h2>\n

Pope Francis began saying that \u201chuman ecology\u201d needs to be encouraged to consider \u201cthe ethical and spiritual quality of life in all of its phases\u201d. Scientific studies on the human person are important, but need to be integrated within the broader realization of the person\u2019s origins. Human life \u201cburst on the world scene with the wonder of word and thought, of affections and spirit\u201d, the Pope said.<\/p>\n

Working for death<\/h2>\n

When babies are exposed to privation and war; when the old are abandoned\u2014\u201cwe instead perform the \u2018dirty\u2019 work of death\u201d, Pope Francis continued. Christians must be strong in their inspiration and commit themselves ever more vigorously to work against such works sustained by sin, he said.<\/p>\n

Dignity of the human person<\/h2>\n

Christian bioethics must not define the value of a person beginning from illness. It must begin with the \u201cprofound conviction of the\u00a0irrevocable dignity of the human person<\/i>, just as God loves each person\u201d through every phase and in every condition of life, Pope Francis said.<\/p>\n

Holistic vision<\/h2>\n

A holistic vision should situate the person within the context of both the connections and differences we live, beginning with the human body. \u201cIt is through our body that the human person is in relationship with the environment and other living beings\u201d, the Pope said, quoting\u00a0Laudato Si\u2019.<\/i>\u00a0Those who understand the world as God\u2019s gift have first accepted their bodies as God\u2019s gift, he said.<\/p>\n

Global bioethics<\/h2>\n

Relying on purely legal regulations or technical assistance in the bioethics field will never guarantee the dignity of the human person. That can only come from the \u201cadequate support of a responsible human proximity\u201d, Pope Francis said.<\/p>\n

Life\u2019s ultimate destination<\/h2>\n

A culture of life always looks toward life\u2019s ultimate destination, Pope Francis concluded. Christian wisdom must passionately contribute to the thought that \u201chumankind\u00a0is destined<\/i>\u00a0to share in God\u2019s life<\/i>\u201d after death where we will remain in eternal awe before all things \u201c \u2018visible\u2019 and \u2018invisible\u2019, hidden in the Creator\u2019s womb”.<\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/www.vincenzopaglia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/134387869_F134387869-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
