CWN Editor's Note: Commenting on his March prayer intention (for a Christian response to bioethical challenges), Pope Francis said in a video that “it is evident that science has progressed, and today the field of bioethics presents us with a series of problems to which we must respond, not hiding our head like an ostrich.”
