Some previously infertile couples have gone on to have several children of their own,
after the generous act of adopting a child. In the rapidly changing culture of today,
where everything is seen as experimental or obsolete, it must be growing clearer to
believers that the Church's commitment to the defense of innocent human life and the
dignity of the human person is the firm centerpiece of our social culture base on the
Gospel. The future of our society depends on the success of this enterprise: Life will be
valued and protected or manipulated and destroyed.
