the silly argument put forth by the Left that personality (personhood) was required for life. It is a legal term as well as a term only applicable to those far along enough to develop a personality, but obviously this is not present yet in the still precious unborn life and in those precious lives with severe mental disorders and conditions.
That is because the Church (and Pope Francis for the libs that will only listen to selective statements out of context from him) recognizes that we humans all possess a soul from conception onward. Thus, any and all conceived life is equally precious regardless of organ function (personality is a brain function) or whether through IVF or natural conception.
Seems like we addressed this and cleared it up a while back too. Thanks for the help, Ned. Not sure if Chris even reads posts that don’t agree with his viewpoints these days, but I hope that he does.
