New Pro-Life Med School Will Train Future Doctors to Respect Life

A new Catholic medical school dedicated to training pro-life doctors is being planned in Kansas.

Aleteia reports Dr. George Mychaskiw II, one of the project leaders, said he hopes the school will help rebuild a culture of life in America, one that respects every human life, born and unborn.

“Physicians have brought us to this culture of death, and it’s time for us to say no and take the culture back,” the Louisiana doctor said.

Mychaskiw, who has helped establish several medical schools, is working with Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, and Catholic Healthcare International on the project. On Sept. 8, they signed an agreement to create the new Saint Padre Pio Institute for the Relief of Suffering and School of Osteopathic Medicine on the Benedictine College campus, according to the report.

“I’ve always felt there’s a need for a faithful Catholic medical school,” he said. “I thought there should be a medical school that really embraces the fundamental principles of the Catholic bioethics that stands for life, that stands for the disabled, that stands for men and women as God created them.”…(Excerpt from LIFENEWS.COM)
