While societies must find a way to overcome the subjugation of women, pretending there are no differences between men and women -- or even using technology to change a person's sex -- is not the answer, Pope Francis said today (October 5, 2017), according to the America Media website.
He denounced the utopia of "the neuter," which seeks to remove "both the human dignity of the sexually different constitution [of man and woman] and the personal quality of the reproductive transmission of life."
The pope was speaking today at the plenary assembly of the newly reconstituted Pontifical Academy for Life. The academy was convening for a discussion: "Accompanying life. New responsibilities in the technological era."
He warned the gathering -- which includes participants from all the continents -- that "the power of biotechnologies, which allows the manipulation of life in a way that was unthinkable yesterday, raises formidable questions."
