And of course, behind all this is the hospital's fear of losing any public or private money that might be contributed to the care of kids. Never mind that the kids are in line to die from a plague disease. Lawyers and judges actually think there is an issue here. To be fair, Monaghan's law school is aimed at teaching high moral concepts. That will be out of the Roman Catholic intellectual tradition, which means stressing moral values, including the value of life.
Catholics believe life is sacred from the moment of conception to the moment of death.
Roman Catholics plan to build a new law school that teaches morality as well as how to win cases. Share your thoughts. But I can't help thinking that his proposed new college, the Ave Maria School of Law, will produce lawyers who would look askance at the New York case. Ave graduates might not even take it up as a cause. Viewing patients as hospital chattel would be as reprehensible as defending pedophilia as an alternate lifestyle.
