WORLD HEPATITIS DAY
2 Corinthians,
Chapter 7, Verse 11
For
behold what earnestness this godly sorrow has produced for you, as well as
readiness for a defense, and indignation, and fear, and yearning, and zeal, and punishment. In every way you have
shown yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
Satan is indeed our adversary but let us focus on what
our Lord tells us.
I tell you, my
friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no
more. I shall show you whom to fear.
Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into
Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. (Luke, Chapter 12, Verse
4-5)
Complete
Trust in God
Our
Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

people worldwide are infected with Hepatitis C and 300 million people are
Hepatitis B carriers.

The
Nuremberg Code (1947) was prompted by the horrific and often deadly
experimentation on human beings in Nazi concentration camps that came to light
during the “Doctors’ Trials” before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals. The main
principles of the Nuremberg Code require that experiments involving human
subjects cause no unnecessary risk, be undertaken with the full and informed
consent of the subjects and must never knowingly cause serious injury or death.
Nazi doctors were not the first, nor the last, to perform inhumane and
sometimes disabling research on unsuspecting human subjects living in poverty,
in prisons, mental health institutions, and orphanages. The Tuskegee syphilis
experiments, the Stateville Penitentiary Malaria Study, and the Willowbrook (Long
Island) State School experiments—in which children with mental disabilities
were intentionally infected with viral
hepatitis—are just a few examples of cases in which doctors put the pursuit
of knowledge and “cures” ahead of the lives and well-being of individual human
beings. The Nuremberg Code inspired other declarations of medical and research
ethics. In 1948, the World Medical Association approved a statement addressing
the ethics of physicians, the Declaration of Geneva. As originally adopted, it
read in part: “I will maintain the utmost
respect for human life, from the time of conception; even under threat, I will
not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity.”
"Read
these counsels slowly. Pause to meditate on these thoughts. They are things
that I whisper in your ear-confiding them-as a friend, as a brother, as a
father. And they are being heard by God. I won't tell you anything new. I will
only stir your memory, so that some thought will arise and strike you; and so you
will better your life and set out along ways of prayer and of Love. And in the
end you will be a more worthy soul."
29. Don't be afraid of the truth, even
though the truth may mean your death.
