It is heresy to say that medical technology has its limits because it has become perhaps the greatest idol of all.

The market has been found wanting because of the increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. Our freedom seems empty because we have not been tutored to desire the good and the lasting. The new things, like the sexual revolution, may have seemed good at the time but it has loosened the bonds of marriage and confused our young.
Being smart is not good enough anymore. For being smart does not necessarily lead to a full, balanced and purposeful life. Something is missing.
