Life, death, lawyers and ethics
LifeSite and Wesley Smith’s “SecondHand Smoke” are covering the very public grief of a family facing the death of their father due to asbestos-related lung cancer.

Letter to the Houston Chronicle
My letter to the editor is in today’s Houston Chronicle. I wish I had thought to be more “precise and clear,” myself. I wanted to praise the reporter for his question on adult stem cells and point out the hope Dr. Simmons has for them – even if the researcher still wants to get his … Continue reading
