" The challenge is very serious. We operate in a world that becomes increasingly aggressive towards human life. Our mission, therefore, assumes an increasingly important obvious and requires a renewed commitment .
With these words the bishop Carrasco de Paula, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, inaugurated yesterday the work of the XVII General Assembly of the Synod Aula old at the Vatican. For Msgr. Carrasco De Paula - named president on June 30 last year - it was the first time at the helm of a general meeting of the department. In his speech, confirming the line of his predecessors, the prelate - L'Osservatore Romano report - insisted that " the focus of our work is not an abstract concept, much less an ideology. There is a person concrete. So much so that the Pontifical Academy for Life may be called "the Pontifical Academy for the person." In front of a world so aggressive against the life of our mission is to strongly reaffirm the need to defend the man in full . This naturally requires some adjustment route. We have reached maturity and therefore we must look to the future with new eyes. The first thing to do is strengthen our activities study.
" We are called to deal with very complex issues that require scientific, technical, theological, ethical and moral the highest quality. We must therefore adapt. We are often asked appropriate explanations other Vatican departments, especially when there is at stake is the dignity of the human person .
is why we are together made up international units of study by leading experts in the various issues to be addressed. The first two groups - those who have studied the issues of banks of umbilical cord and post-abortion trauma - have been working since last September and today are called to present the results of their studies. It is already to begin the work of the third study group. "It will cover infertility and therapies that can overcome this hurdle. Will certainly not take the issue counter at this time, assisted procreation. The less we will deal with the limits and health damage associated with these procedures. What interests us is to show alternative ways .
Couples with fertility problems today are almost always directed to facilities engaged in artificial techniques. "Nobody cares of these couples to start centers that treat human infertility, a field that has seen enormous progress . Most of the time the advice is to not even lose time with useless attempts. Mentality of defeat to restore hope and above all to those who seek to use techniques of artificial procreation. In order to give concrete answers have formed a study group of which they were requested to participate in some of the best Italian specialists in the field. With them we are now expanding the horizon to the scientific world to give birth to a unit of work internationally. The intention is to publish a White Paper on the issue of infertility with all the possible alternatives .
With regard to the objectives of this seventeenth meeting, the first bishop has indicated willingness to demonstrate the importance of providing an excellent resource of all, as the umbilical cord, " overcome the temptation to throw it like a remnant or keeping it for themselves, knowing that maybe you have limited opportunity to use . According intent is to demonstrate that before problems arise as a result of an abortion procured, you can never talk about syndrome. The syndrome is " a concept very precise and clinical manifestations in cases of post-abortion is no question of related syndromes. There are consequences, of course. Can be minimal or even traumatic, and lead to situations of serious psychological distress, even in the family. However, these situations to be considered to help those affected. But it must be clear that you are not in the presence of a syndrome .
