CALive | Trent Horn & Fr. Tad Pacholczyk | January 16, 2023

HOUR 1: Trent Horn - Why are you Pro-Choice HOUR 2: Fr. Tad Pacholczyk - Bioethics 00:00:00 - Intro 00:11:34 - How would the church feel about a woman that was raped and must share custody with the rapist? Does that make it justified to kill the baby? 00:18:52 - I’m pro-life but can you explain why IVF is not pro-life? My wife was conceived that way and now that she’s becoming a doctor, I feel that will influence how she deals with IVF and contraception. 00:25:39 - I think it’s awful but I think women are going to have abortions whether we want them to or not and I want it done in a doctor’s office. 00:36:50 - I was pro-choice for a long time throughout my 20s and 30s. I then studied Buddhism and they talk in detail about how the soul enters at the time of the union of the sperm and egg. I am now going back to the beginning when I was baptized Catholic and comparing things to find my way 00:42:52 - I’m pro-life, for babies who survive late-term abortions, aren’t they automatically American citizens? 00:48:22 - When I was younger, I went through two abortions and came to really regret them. 00:50:00 - I believe that there are times when pregnancies are dangerous for women. 00:56:25 - 5-minute break 01:01:25 - Welcome back! 01:16:25 -What do you think about the science of artificial womb technology? Do you think it might have any relation to the end of abortion? 01:21:13 - Ethically, how much as Catholics can we trust that scientists are doing the right thing? Is using stem cells for cancer treatment ethical? I’m asking as a parent that has a child dying from cancer. 01:30:54 - I work as a clinical research coordinator with humans. Is it ok for me as a faithful Catholic to present contraceptive options for women going into a trial? 01:39:00 - Is insulin a necessity at the end of life? 01:46:50 - My mother has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She’s also on dialysis for kidney failure. How long, morally, should she continue dialysis as her dementia progresses? 01:51:47 - I’m 75 y.o. my adult children have all left the faith and don’t care about me anymore. What do I do if I’m hospitalized and have no advocate?
