...diseased patients with considerably more success. In addition, the traditional checks and balances in the medical profession--which do not include government interference--would usually weed out such hopeless operations as the one performed on Baby Fae. But the Loma Linda Hospital published no information, and consequently violated the code of ethics which keeps American medicine so respectable...
...LEAST the operations at the Humana and Loma Linda Hospitals promised some widespread application in the future, compensating for their violations of the sacred medical code of ethics. The number of organs available from organ banks in this country will never match the number of needed transplants, and experimentation with artificial and animals hearts offers some relief in this area. If the medical profession decides to continue with expensive transplant procedures despite the somewhat hypocritical warnings from Harvard, certainly research devoted to finding other sources to supplement the scarce human organ supply is wanting.

Last year, in attempting to secure the release of three political prisoners, HRAI initiated a campaign to send postcards signed by Harvard students calling for the leaders of the three countries involved to take action.

The questions the abortion issue raises are perplexing enough in the realm of abstract morality, but trying to translate them into concrete legal doctrines requires a Hercules of jurisprudence. If arrogant abortion foes like New York Archbishop John J. O'Connor actually tried to answer these questions, they would realize that the issue isn't so clear-cut, and perhaps...
