Przepraszam, że w języku language, ale czy ktoś w polskiej prasie by wspomniał?


Henry Morgentaler was born in the Polish town of Lodz in 1923. There, he was frequently subjected to beatings by anti-Semitic youth. When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, his father, a labor leader, was sent to a detention camp, where he was tortured and murdered. Shortly thereafter, Morgantaler, his mother, sister, and brother were sent to concentration camps. Only he and his brother survived, after five years in Dachau and Auschwitz. After his release, he studied medicine in Belgium and completed his medical education in Canada, to which he emigrated in 1950.
Settling in Montreal, he started a family medicine practice, and also became politically involved in the Humanist Fellowship of Montreal. A militant secularist—“socialism was the religion of our family,” he told me—the movement attracted him because of its focus on science and reason. He quickly became a leader in the Humanist movement, which is how he first encountered the abortion issue as it was on that movement’s agenda. He began to speak widely on the need for abortion reform, including a presentation before the Canadian parliament.

        Nie wiem, co z tym wyłączeniem komentarzy, ale ja sobie skomentuję, że ładnie się historia doktora wpisuje w jeden z ulubionych argumentów 'określonych środowisk', że aborcja = holocaust. Perspektywa doktora Morgentalera powinna przemówić do wyobraźni.

            A tam 12 Zasad. Aż się prosi, żeby wkleić. No, a skoro się prosi:

            Twelve Principles of Humanism
            1. Humanism aims at the full development of every human being.
            2. Humanists uphold the broadest application of democratic principles in all human relationships.
            3. Humanists advocate the use of the scientific method, both as a guide to distinguish fact from fiction and to help develop beneficial and creative uses of science and technology.
            4. Humanists affirm the dignity of every person and the right of the individual to maximum possible freedom compatible with the rights of others.
            5. Humanists acknowledge human interdependence, the need for mutual respect and the kinship of all humanity.
            6. Humanists call for the continued improvement of society so that no one may be deprived of the basic necessities of life, and for institutions and conditions to provide every person with opportunities for developing their full potential.
            7. Humanists support the development and extension of fundamental human freedoms, as expressed in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and supplemented by UN International Covenants comprising the United Nations Bill of Human Rights.
            8. Humanists advocate peaceful resolution of conflicts between individuals, groups, and nations.
            9. The humanist ethic encourages development of the positive potentialities in human nature, and approves conduct based on a sense of responsibility to oneself and to all other persons.
            10. Humanists reject beliefs held in absence of verifiable evidence, such as beliefs based solely on dogma, revelation, mysticism or appeals to the supernatural.
            11. Humanists affirm that individual and social problems can only be resolved by means of human reason, intelligent effort, critical thinking joined with compassion and a spirit of empathy for all living beings.
            12. Humanists affirm that human beings are completely a part of nature, and that our survival is dependent upon a healthy planet that provides us and all other forms of life with a life-supporting environment.
