This evening Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed into law The Alabama Human Life Protection Act. The law is sure to ramp up the debate in the upcoming presidential election as well an appeal to the Supreme Court.
It's not often that we come across the extraordinary in our lifetime. Who comes to your mind if you were to be asked; Who do you know of in your lifetime that is extraordinary? Maybe sports stars, politicians, astronauts, or war heroes,
but, seldom do we think of those in the medical profession. Two such men in my lifetime are Dr.'s Jonas Salk and Thomas Starzl both of whom did their amazing work in our own backyards at The University of Pittsburgh. This documentary is about the struggles and finally the triumph of Dr. Thomas Starzl a pioneer in the development of organ transplantation. "The Burden of Genius" is now playing at the Rangos Giant Cinema in the Carnegie Science Center. As man seeks to extend life beyond our biological limits whether due to failing organs, cancer or infectious diseases, it is only the grace of God that enables us to do so.
Thanks to Bill MeHaffey for the article and I do note the GCC connection.
Hill Song UNITED is an Australian Christian band that by happen-stance, I ran into on the internet. I love the lyrics to the chorus of this song:
There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I've been set free
There's a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
