Bishop Morlino Heads Bioethics Board

The field of bioethics is an ever more complicated one, said Madison Bishop Robert Morlino, with rapidly changing technology that makes keeping up to date a challenge.

But the underlying principles are simpler, Morlino said in an interview last week. "The destruction of human life is always and intrinsically evil," he said.

[Bishop] Morlino was elected chairman of the board of the National Catholic Bioethics Center during a workshop in January for Catholic bishops held in Dallas. Bioethics was an area of specialization for his doctorate in moral theology from Gregorian University in Rome.
