"Someone says that if there is one thing that can be done, religion will understand us. But the problem of death is not a religious problem, be careful: it is a human problem, pre-religious, it is a problem of human ethics. religions follow him, but it is a problem that even an atheist must solve in his own conscience. I ask two questions to a person who makes me think about this problem. Do I have the right to do this? The scientific answer: the third week, almost the fourth, there are all the organs of the new human being in the womb of the mother, it is a human life. I ask this question: is it right to cancel a human life to solve a problem, any problem? No, that's not right. hire a hitman to solve a problem? One that kills human life? This is the problem of abortion. Scientifically and humanly. Do not interfere with the religions that come after, but it is not to lose human consciousness ". Pope Francis said this during an exclusive interview with Mediaset. "Even discarding children - as I said before - without education they discard them to exploit them later: without taking away their hunger, they grow up sick and die. Children do not produce and are discarded. Discard the elderly: the elderly do not produce and are discarded. Discard the sick or accelerate death when it is terminal. Discard so that it is more convenient for us and not bring us many problems. This is the culture of waste. Discarding migrants: on our conscience the people who drowned in the Mediterranean weigh on our conscience because you did not let it come. How do you manage afterwards, that is another problem that States must face with prudence and wisdom but let them drown to solve a problem later does not work. Nobody does it with intention, it is true, but if you do not put the means of help is a problem. There is no intention but there is intention. In this throwaway culture we need a culture of welcoming: instead of rejecting welcoming. The culture of indifferent is not valid. za. This is the way to save ourselves, closeness, brotherhood, doing everything together ".
