insofar as the use of new drugs
on the part of human beings
is concerned, is intensive and
extensive preliminary experi
mentation with non-human sub
jects by competent scientists
who also know what they are
doing from the ethical view
point.
ONLY AFTER thorough pre
liminary testing and a subsequ
ent evaluation of the data
yielded may a new drug be ser
iously considered for distribu
tion to human beings. Even at
this stage of a drug's develop
ment, however, it should not
be indiscriminately prescribed.
In each particular instance the
attending physician is called
upon to make a judgment based
not only on the pertinent scien
tific data (i.e., the properties
of the drug, its potency, side
effects, etc.) but also with re
spect to the patient's over all
condition and the specific cir
cumstances of the case.
IF NOTABLE RISKS are in
volved, the patient must be in
formed of the fact and his con
sent obtained. This principle
was emphasized by the late
Pope Pius XII in his two major
allocutions on the problem.
Thus, he said:
“ . . . THE DOCTOR can
take no measure or try no
course of action without the
consent of the patient. The doc
tor has no other rights or
powers over the patient than
those which the latter gives
him, explicitly or implicitly
and tacitly. On his side, the
patient cannot confer rights he
does not possess . .
MOREOVER, where risks are
involved, new drugs should not
be utilized when certainly effec
tive and safe ones are avail
able - all other things being
equal of course, Directive 40
of the “Ethical and Religious
Directives for Catholic Hos
pitals” stipulates: “Any pro
cedure harmful to the patient
is morally justified only inso
far as it is designed to pro
duce a proportionate good.”
It goes without saying, fin
ally, that new drugs should not
be resorted to unless all
reasonable precautions are
taken to avoid even the indi-

rect causing of grave injury
or death or, as the rules for
mulated for the Nuremberg
medical trials put it, when
ever there is an “a priori”
reason to suspect that death or
disabling injury will occur.
“IT IS very important,”
writes Father Gerald Kelly, S.
J., in his “Medico-Moral Prob
lems,” “that those engaged in
medical research and experi
mentation have sound philoso
phical attitudes toward man,
his nature, his rights, and his
destiny. Pius XII emphasized
this and strongly condemned
two false attitudes. One of these
attitudes is the extreme indi
vidualism (which holds that,
granted a person freely con
sents to an experiment, there
is practically no limit to what
may be done). Another is the
totalitarian attitude, the view
that the individual exists for
the community and is subordin
ated to it as part to whole.”

of God.”
How can you help spread the
Faith? By living an upright
life, answering questions about
your Faith and bringing a pro
spect to an inquiry class for
systematic instruction. This is
illustrated in the conversion of
Mrs. Florence Barber of Mis
hawaka, Indiana. “I was reared
a Methodist in Athens,
Alabama,” she related, “where
there are few Catholics. We
later moved to Mobile which
has a large Catholic popula
tion.
“Most of my friends were
Catholic and occasionally I went
to Mass with them. I was great
ly impressed by the reverence
of the worshipers who partici
pated in the prayers and the
congregational hymns. It was
a pleasant change for me, as
the chief part of our service
seemed to be the sermon. Often
it was long and uninteresting.
The Mass seemed to bring one
closer to God.
“My brother Floyd had mar
ried Wilma Fitzpatrick and pro
mised to bring up the children
in the Catholic Faith. When Wil
ma died, leaving two small
children, Floyd turned to
mother and myself for help to
fulfill his promise. In Goshen,
Indiana, where we were then
living, there was no Catholic
school, so we sent them to
catechism on Saturday and to
the three week catechism school
in the summer.
“I felt that we were letting
them down, however, by not
learning more about the reli
gion ourselves. When I came to
work at Notre Dame Uni
versity, I asked, other Catho
lics about their religion. Most
were hesitant, eager to shift
the conversation or unable to

2 Observers
GENEVA, (NC) - The Lu
theran World Federation, which
has a membership of 50 million
persons in 30 countries, named
two theologians as delegate-
observers to the forthcoming
Second Vatican Council.
Dr. George Lindbeck, assoc
iate professor of historical
theology at Yale Divinity School,
and Dr. K. E. Skydsgawrd, pro
fessor of systematic theology
at the University of Copen
hagen, will represent the fed
eration at the Rome council,
which begins October 11. They
are regarded as experts in
the sphere of Protestant-Cath
olic relations.
The appointments were an
nounced at the federation’s
headquarters here, following an
invitation from the Vatican Sec
retariat for Promoting Chris
tian Unity.
The invitation had said: “It
is our hope and prayer . . . that
the presence of these observers
may be an efficacious contri
bution to an ever-increasing
understanding and esteem be
tween all those who have been
baptized in Christ ...”
answer. Irene Trippel was one
of the exceptions. She explain
ed . many points and then took
me to an inquiry class at St.
Joseph’s Church, Mishawaka.
“This solved my problem.
The class met twice weekly
for three months. The instruc
tions were given alternately by
Fathers Elden Miller and Ri
chard Smith. Irene attended
every class with me and sup
plemented the lectures with ad
ditional explanations. It was an
ideal arrangement. Irene was
my sponsor when I was bap
tized. Mass and f$>ly Commun
ion mean more to me every
day. Never can I sufficiently
thank Irene for helping me into
Christ’s true Church.”
(Father O’Brien will be glad
to have converts send their
names and addresses to him
at Notre Dame University, No
tre Dame, Indiana, so he may
write up their conversion sto
ries.)

really matter. They see the petty annoyances, which send
the rest of us into fury, in their littleness. Many spend
too much time bringing out old griefs, reconstructing im
agined wrongdoings and pride infractions.
Caryll Houselander was described by a friend as seeing
her own shortcomings, sins, insufficiencies, with even
more piercing clarity than those of others. When she wrote
about spiritual things, she was writing not of the fruit
of her own victory but inviting others to join the battle.
So it is with my reflections today. I am very aware of
my own failings. They come up to me dozens of times
during the day. We find it is so easy to accuse and criti
cize and so difficult to forgive and love. It will ever be
the paradox for me in relation to my fellow members of
the human race.

Once in such discouragement, I spoke this way to a
nun. She said: “I am surprised at you. Don’t you concede
there are saints in the world at all?” I do but my eyes
seem unable to select them amid the talk. The outward
signs of sanctity are often there but so are the human
failings which kick up the dust of disillusion. All this
saddens my heart. I want to be kinder and more patient
and I want others to be that way, too. This is what matters
so very much in the world. Talk is nothing. Action, medi
tation, these are everything.
