Dear Editor: I recently searched the Tablet website for columns by Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk and was surprised to see that none have been printed since 2016. Considering all that New York is dealing with, we need the kind of clear teaching Father Pacholczyk provides in his columns.

While I am still reeling from the imposition of Governor Cuomo’s so-called Reproductive Health Act, other seriously bad legislation is making its way through the process. The Child-Parent Security Act, another misleading euphemistic title for legislation, will repeal the ban on surrogacy and allow contractual gestational surrogacy. According to news reports the governor has indicated he wants this passed soon.

Remember Baby M? Tweaking the regulations does not make surrogacy any less immoral. And then there is the “Patient Self-Determination Act,” but don’t let its mild-mannered title fool you. It is physician-assisted suicide. The euphemism factory must be located in Albany where our laws are drafted and passed before constituents can figure out what they really mean.

The bio-ethics column is clearly needed. It appears in the Pilot, the Boston Catholic newspaper. According to the Pilot, Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D., earned his doctorate in neuroscience from Yale and did post-doctoral work at Harvard. He is a priest of the diocese of Fall River and serves as the Director of Education at The National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia. Please reinstate “Making Sense of Bioethics.”
