Pope Francis said Monday some lives
should no longer be considered "unworthy" because they do not
correspond to "the criteria of profit".
Speaking to members of the foundation of Rome's Campus
Bio-medico, Francis said "the Foundation and the Campus
Bio-Medico, and Catholic health services in general, are called
to bear witness with their actions that there are no unworthy
lives or ones to be discarded because they do not meet the
criterion of the useful of the demands of profit".
The pope also reiterate a call for COVID vaccines to be
distributed freely to poorer countries, "not like pitiful
charity".
He said that "science must be put into the common weal.
"It is urgent to help the countries that have fewer vaccines,
but it must be done with far-sighted plans, not motivated only
by the haste of the well-off countries in wanting to be safer".
