We're live now with Melkite Catholic Priest Fr. Michael Copenhagen and we're taking your questions on Catholic Bioethics! To get your question in for Father Copenhagen, call 1-877-511-5483 or email us at [email protected] In Today's Show In regard to the artificially grown tissue that resembles parts of the human brain (cerebral organoids) in current testing. does such a part of the body albeit artificial, have a soul? What does the Church think about potentially lifesaving medicine that uses abortion or needs fetal cells? Should or can Catholics use it? Some of my family members want to be surrogate mothers. How can I convince them that surrogacy is wrong? Is it a sin to have an open house on a Sunday? Are stem cells considered acceptable for us by Catholics in medical scenarios? My family denied my step grandma water through an IV and she then passed, should I have done more to help prevent that? How to ethically collect stem cells? Is brain death a fallacy?
