@McCormickProf It is worth noting (and reading) those who, in the early 20th century, saw through the progressivist hysteria to the dark underbelly of eugenics, long before the Nazis destroyed its moral credibility.

We would like to honour the memory of the late Pope Benedict XVI. His witness to Christian humility, commitment to reasoned dialogue & engagement with society, & principled respect for human life at all stages, were exemplary, & should always animate Catholic bioethics. 🧵 (1/3)

@LucyCheke Agreed! Only thing I'd add is: don't put anything in your personal statement that you are not prepared to discuss in person.

This is true. But neither JPII nor BXVI would have signed the evil Machiavellian deal with Beijing. They had their failings, God knows, but also far greater personal integrity than Francis, betrayer of the Uighurs and protector of Zanchetta.

@vixmcintyre @bone_crudmeal @BodyByPlanB @GCH3290 Just to clarify: the 40-60% estimate is for losses from fertilisation to BIRTH, not “the first 6 week alone”. It includes losses of later pregnancies. Details are here: https://t.co/FYEo9yAPNu, including speculative estimates for pre-implantation loss, of approx 25-30% (Table 3).
