Pope Deems Cloning Unethical Seattle Priests Banned for Abuse
(AP)— Pope John Paul II
warned in a statement that
humanity’s speedy progress
in science and technology
risks overlooking moral val­
ues, citing with particular
concern experiments in hu­
man cloning.
The pontiff - in a mes­
sage written Aug. 6 but re­
leased Sunday for the start
of a Church-organized meet­
ing on the theme of progress
- insisted that advanced re­
search must not become an
end in itself.
“The results achieved
in various fields o f science
and technology are co n ­
sidered and defended by
many as a priori accep t­
ab le,” he said. “In this way,
one ends up expecting that
w hat is technically possible
is in itself also ethically

The po n tiff continued:
“T here is no one w ho does
not see the dram atic and

Deadline for Abuse Claims Wanted
(AP) — The Archdiocese of
Portland, the first American dio­
cese to file for bankruptcy, has
asked a federal judge to set a Dec.
31 deadline for priest sex abuse
victims to come forward.
The archdiocese said it needs to
have a firm estimate of the number
o f potential lawsuits to help settle
creditor claims. The diocese filed
July 6 for Chapter 11 protection
under federal bankruptcy law.
At least 60 alleged victims have
pending claim s against the arch­
diocese; another 20 are expected to
file claims.
David Slader, an attorney for 17
o f those victims, said the deadline
is unrealistic.
“The problem is that the men and
women who have been abused by
their priests live in a world o f shame
- and that shame imposes a cloak of
silence over them,” he said.
