Nearly 300 Catholic professionals, community and business leaders
and clergy gathered earlier this week to better educate themselves
on stem-cell research and human cloning.

The event, held Aug. 30 at the Cardinal Rigali Center in Shrewsbury,
was sponsored by the archdiocesan Respect Life Apostolate (formerly
the Archdiocesan Pro-Life Committee) and Missouri Right to Life.

"For the Church, this kind of gathering is fundamental, because our
teaching regarding the respect of human life has throughout the
centuries looked to the sciences as they have developed over time to
understand the mystery of the beginning of human life and to be
certain that ... all respect is shown and that life is safeguarded
and protected and fostered," said Archbishop Raymond L. Burke.
