Abuja, Jan 25, 2007 / 11:59 am (CNA).- The president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Bishop Elio Sgreccia, denounced this week the different attacks on human life in all its stages, saying mankind is marching towards a self-genocide of the human race.
The weakness of the Christian community and the strength of secular society could spell disaster, Bishop Sgreccia warned, and he urged all European citizens to work at reversing the trend. Up to now the culture of death has been accepted and this path leads to self-destruction.
He also noted the widespread mentality that trusts in bio-technological power. Such powers, Sgreccia said aim to change the order of the human species and to create men in the image and likeness of other men who have power.

I praise the Vatican official's comments. We are on our way to a self-genocide if we don't start respecting the sanctity of life more.
