IN RESPONSE:
Dr. Weiser dismisses my approach on the basis that I am a Catholic. He seems to believe that Catholics should not impose our beliefs (for example, that physician-assisted suicide is immoral) on secular society as a whole. Does he believe that I should keep this in mind when contemplating my church's stance on capital punishment, concern for the poor, and other issues? Dr. Weiser might consider that the Catholic Church teaches certain things because they are true. Let's engage on the issues.
Dr. Schiller restates my case better than I did in my editorial, and I encourage Annals readers to absorb his comments in full.
