CASERTA – Seven questions, addressed to experts, to better understand bioethics and the limits that, in the face of scientific experimentation, require respect for human life. This is the proposal of the conference “Is everything permissible? Seven questions around nascent and terminal life” – which will be held on Friday 14 June at 6.30 pm at the Salesian Institute of Caserta – organized by the Don Bosco Past Pupils Union “Umberto Cirillo” together with the Provincial Order of Surgeons and Dentists of the Province of Caserta, to the Catholic Union of Italian Pharmacists, the Catholic Alliance and the “Rosario Livatino” Study Center.
The experts Domenico Airoma – vice president of the Livatino Study Center – and Claudia Navarini – member of the National Committee for Bioethics of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers – will answer seven questions which will touch, transversally, on ethical issues from assisted fertilization to euthanasia.
The meeting will open with greetings from Don Antonio D’Angelo, director of the Salesian House of Caserta, Gennaro Iannotti, president of the Don Bosco “Umberto Cirillo” Past Pupils Union of Caserta, Carlo Manzi, president of the Provincial Order of Surgeons and Dentists of the Province of Caserta, and Carmela Iodice, president of the Italian Catholic Pharmacists Union of Caserta. The journalist Antonello Velardi moderates.
«The bioethical topic is increasingly topical but less and less addressed with due diligence – comments the president Gennaro Iannotti – with this conference we want, thanks to the intervention of eminent experts, to touch upon and reel off many of the doubts that grip the bioethical topic and to give a complete vision of the effects that many legislative proposals (from the modification of the criteria for assisted fertilization to the introduction of euthanasia) could have, not only from a moral point of view, in our lives”.
