Talk on ethics of stem cell research Dec. 1 3:27 p.m., Nov. 29, 2005--A lecture, “Cutting through the Spin on Stem Cells and Cloning,” by the Rev. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, who holds a doctorate in neuroscience, will be given at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 1, in 115 Purnell Hall. The last of a series of three talks on embryonic stem cell research, the event is free and open to the public. The talk is sponsored by UD’s Prolife Vanguard and the Catholic Scholars of Delaware and also by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Before becoming a priest at the age of 34, Pacholczyk received his doctorate from Yale University and completed a postdoctoral program at Harvard University in neuroscience. Following his ordination, he earned two degrees in advanced theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Previously, he received four undergraduate degrees from the University of Arizona in molecular and cellular biology, chemistry, biochemistry and philosophy. “Good science should always be the point of departure for doing ethical analysis,” Pacholczyk, who has testified before state legislatures and appeared frequently on television, said. “I always do the first half of my talks just on the science. The second half I focus on the moral concerns.” The series, “Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Learn the Facts,” has featured Wilmington attorney Stephen E. Jenkins, who spoke about Delaware’s Senate Bill 80, and Robert P. George of Princeton University, who spoke on “Humane Alternatives to Destructive Embryonic Research.” To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
