Dal numero 82 abbiamo iniziato a pubblicare la Newsletter SRM anche in formato html, solo testo, sia per facilitare la lettura della Newsletter a chi avesse una connessione (anche temporaneamente) non particolarmente veloce, sia a chi comunque preferisca la versione html allo scaricamento di files pdf.
La Newsletter sarà quindi pubblicata nelle due versioni; come sempre, è riproducibile da chiunque, purché venga citata la fonte (SRM, www.srmedia.org) e non ne vengano alterati i contenuti, o comunque collocati in contesti non appropriati.
Siamo disponibili per qualsiasi informazione o chiarimento su questi ed altri aspetti, scrivendo a pcentofanti@gmail.com.
Abbiamo anche iniziato a pubblicare gradualmente in formato html i numeri precedenti (attualmente fino alla n. 64)

The STOQ '07 International Conference, concluded last saturday november 17, has begun with relations of H.E. Msgr. Gianfranco Ravasi, President of Pontifical Council of Culture, and H.E. Msgr. Elio Sgreccia, President of Pontifical Academy for Life.
Msgr Ravasi has also invited to a new dialogue between science and faith, going over misunderstandings on Evolutionism. He has quoted Msgr. Fiorenzo Facchini (Bologna University), saying that "there is a real choice not between evolution and creation, but between vision of an evolving world, depending on a creator God (according to His project), and the vision of an all-sufficient world, capable of creating itself, for purely immanent events" Msgr Sgreccia has presented a "reflection on ontogeny", in connection with Fides et Ratio Encyclical, researches of Pontifical Academy for Life, theological aspects, the necessity of an interdisciplinary method for this reflection, that involves "various fields of knowledge".
At STOQ '07 Conference, have been participated relators representing various lay organizations and religious institutions, from almost any continent of the world, presenting their reflections, and their practical involvement with ontogenesys, connecting with their research or field activities.
SRM has published a Special Newsletter on the Press Conference, held last 6th november at the Holy See Press Room, and is going to publish a page and a new Special Issue of Newsletter, with Press Review, on the event.

This is the statement of Dr. Carlo Bellieni, Director of the Department of Neonatal Intensive Care of “Le Scotte” Polyclinic University of Siena. While the media try to show just the opposite, publishing all the supporting arguments for euthanasia, opinion polls in the medical community reveal that the number of Italian doctors in favor of euthanasia is actually less than 10%.
In light of this finding, does debate about euthanasia still make sense ?
