Her essay discusses, "Can Catholic Facilities Justify the Use of Embryonic Stem Cell Therapies Developed from the Destruction of Human Embryos?" The final essay is by Ann Suziedelis, PhD, who is the Vice President of Mission Services at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital, Pontiac, Michigan. With a captivating title her essay discusses a very serious ethical concern, "Nurses: The Rodney Dangerfields of Health Care?" I hope that you enjoy the essays.
