"It is a huge challenge to establish a dispassionate assessment of the 
stem-cell debate," said Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, director of education for 
the National Catholic Bioethics Center. "We have to have ethical and moral 
guidelines in our research. Science without ethics is a recipe for disaster."

Unless there's a complete change of minds and hearts, the future doesn't look 
bright for pro-life supporters, he said. He described a scenario where "fetal 
farms" would be established to harvest organs from aborted babies.

Stem-cell research, in vitro fertilization and human cloning were among the 
topics examined by Father Pacholczyk during a two-day workshop last week at St. 
Agnes Church in Arlington. The discussion was sponsored by the Diocesan Office 
for Family Life.
