What the task force wants to do is pull up on the reins of a technology that saves lives and is on its way to saving more.

Inside the church, Father Feliks Polejewski announced at the end of Mass that "Father Jerzy is among the blessed today." For a moment, all emotion seemed to drain from the congregation, which had kept up a determined vigil for eleven days. Then came the sobs, as the crowd haltingly began to sing a patriotic anthem. Reciting the Lord's Prayer, Father Polejewski gently emphasized the words, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Three...
