Un llamado para humanizar la tecnología médica

Written by La Voz Católica on 22 November 2021. Posted in Organizaciones / Campaigns.

... la hiperespecialización que caracteriza a toda la investigación científica contemporánea ya ha mostrado claramente sus límites...»

La deshumanizante hiperespecialización tecnológica Nov.21.– “La pandemia (de COVID-19) ha revelado nítidamente cómo la interconectividad global, que es parte de toda experiencia humana se ha hecho particularmente visible en el sector de la sanidad […]; que la salud del acaudalado e híper-tecnológico Occidente depende de las influencias provenientes de todo el planeta”; y que “incluso ahora, cuando ya presenciamos los primeros frutos de descubrimientos científicos excepcionales e inimaginables hasta hace poco, aún debemos luchar para contener la propagación del coronavirus”.

Estas reflexiones forman parte del discurso inaugural del Arzobispo Vincenzo Paglia, presidente de la Pontificia Academia para la Vida del Vaticano. Esta intervención medular la presentó el 15 de octubre pasado en Punta Cana, República Dominicana, ante una audiencia conformada por alrededor de 500 médicos reunidos durante el simposio anual de SOMOS Community Care, que les ofrece créditos curriculares de educación continua a los participantes.

Franciscan friars extend their brotherly hand to the dispossessed of Syria

Written by Gerardo E. Martínez-Solanas on 17 November 2021. Posted in Organizaciones / Campaigns.

Aleppo, Nov. 17 (DP.net).– Under the boot of a cruel dictator, persecuted by Islamic extremists and terrorists bent on eradicating every vestige of Christianity in Syria, the Franciscan One of many churches destroyed by the war and terrorismmissionaries stoically and heroically persist in their charitable mission in such an inhospitable environment. Nevertheless, they are not limited to extending a brotherly hand to Christians but also to Muslims and to those dispossessed of any other religion who have fallen into utter misery as a result of the war and terrorism.

Over the last four years, over 250,000 people have lost their lives in Syria. The drama of this war-torn country plays out on the evening news in front of our eyes: families try to escape from the war, from the bombs, from terror… But, the poorest among them cannot get away. Franciscan friars who live in the Syrian missions remain close to those who are left behind, to live in the ruins of their cities, in the midst of this unending war. These friars have stayed behind and continue to serve the refugees.

They are currently…

• Providing ongoing emergency funds to the people in Syria and Iraq
• Supporting 29 parishes, 4 homes for orphans and 3 academic institutions
• Operating 16 schools for more than 10,000 pre-K through grade 12 students
• Relocating and providing homes to Christian families
• Rehabilitating destroyed homes for Christians families
• Supporting more than 100 men preparing to be priests or brothers
• Assisting Syrian and Iraqi refugee families in Jordan and Lebanon by helping to pay for rent, food, heat, schooling and transportation.

Petition to John Kerry on COP26 about Tibet's Environment exploitation

Written by Democracia Participativa on 27 October 2021. Posted in Organizaciones / Campaigns.

Mr. John Kerry
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW, Room 2206
Washington, DC 20520-2204

Dear Sir,

As you represent the United States at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and lead efforts to commit to urgent climate action, please make saving Tibet's environment and stopping the humanitarian crisis in Tibet one of your top priorities.

China's reckless and unchecked exploitation of Tibet's natural resources, through uncontrolled development, damming, logging and mining, is destroying the ecosystem in the whole region. The Chinese government is also using its environmental policy as a weapon of oppression –forcing Tibetan nomads off their lands and imperiling water supplies for nearly 2 billion people across Asia– silencing by force any Tibetan who speaks out.

As you work with other world leaders to achieve a primary goal of the conference, which is "adapting to protect communities and natural habitats", Tibet cannot be forgotten within this task.

Please, speak up for the people of Tibet and pressure the Chinese government to stop exploiting Tibet's environment.

Thank you,

[Signed]

Oct.27 (DP.net).– China's reckless environmental policies are fueling a humanitarian crisis in Tibet and a climate catastrophe worldwide. Tibetans have been devoted stewards of their unique environment for centuries. Their experience protecting grasslands, rivers, forests and mountains would be a great help in saving Tibet's environment and contribute to the World's efforts to contain the ravages of climate change.

However, the Chinese Communist Party excludes Tibetans from environmental policy decisions. Even worse, Tibetans who speak out against the damming and diversion of rivers or rampant logging and mining are constantly being silenced and sentenced to long prison terms. Indeed, this China's destructive environmental policies imperil people far beyond Tibet.

It is a fact that six of the world's major rivers originate in Tibet. Nearly 2 billion people across Asia depend on Tibet's rivers for their water and irrigation. However, massive dams already in place –and dozens more set for construction– enable the Chinese government to turn life-sustaining water into a weapon against people in Tibet and throughout the region.
