Pope Benedict XVI. Today, the participants adopted the General Session audience the Pontifical Academy for Life, led by its Chairman Msgr. Rino Fisichella. At the beginning of his speech highlighted the importance of the relationship between bioethics and natural law, which was the main topic of the meeting, and who is in his words become more important in the context of continuous development in the scientific field: "As I pointed out in his latest encyclical, Caritas in veritate" The primary and central field of cultural struggle between art and categorically demands moral responsibility of man is now bioethics, in which is radical in the game, the mere possibility of integral development. This is a very delicate and crucial area in which the dramatic power raises the fundamental question: whether man makes himself, or dependent on God. Scientific discoveries in this field and the possibility of technical intervention seem so advanced, that leaves us with the choice between rationality: reason and open to transcendence, and reason, concluded in immanence "(No. 74). In relation to similar issues that are so critically affect human life in its the eternal tension between immanence and transcendental, and which have great weight in súvislosti with the culture of future generations, is nevyhntuné vytvoriť integral educational project, the aim of combating these issues pozitívnou balanced and constructive vision, especially in the relationship between faith and reason. "
the holy Otec pointed out, human life knows its own development, and the horizon of scientific and bioethical review is open, but it should be noted that when it comes to matters relating to human beings, scientists must never think that they are in the hands of only a manageable matter without soul. Although it is now increasingly talking about rights, which guarantee the dignity of the person, it is evident that there are always those rights accorded to human life in its natural stages of development and most vulnerable. According to Benedict XVI. history shows what can be dangerous and destructive state, issuing laws on matters relating to man and society, claiming that he is a source of ethics and principle.
"natural moral law, strong in its universal character, can avert such a danger and in particular offers an authentic legislature to guarantee respect for human beings, even towards the whole of creation order. He is seen as a catalyst for consensus among people of different cultures and religions and allows to bridge the gap, as demonstrated by the existence of order in nature vpečateného Creator and recognized as a true instance, rational ethical discretion in order to achieve good and avoid evil.
