Stem cell research has captured the imagination of many in our society. Stem cells are relatively unspecialized cells that, when they divide, can replicate themselves and also produce a variety of more specialized cells. Scientists hope these biological building blocks can be directed to produce many types of cells to repair the human body, cure disease, and alleviate suffering. Stem cells from adult tissues, umbilical cord blood, and placenta (often loosely called “adult stem cells”) can be obtained without harm to the donor and without any ethical problem, and these have already demonstrated great medical promise. But some scientists are most intrigued by stem cells obtained by destroying an embryonic human being in the first week or so of development. Harvesting these “embryonic stem cells” involves the deliberate killing of innocent human beings, a gravely immoral act. Yet some try to justify it by appealing to a hoped-for future benefit to others.

"While contemporary Catholic health care and other not-for-profit health care institutions excel in quality, innovation and technology, they remain community-benefit organizations, founded and sustained because of community need," Sister Carol Keehan, a Daughter of Charity who chairs the board of trustees of the Catholic Health Association of the United States, said in May 26 testimony in Washington before the House Ways and Means Committee, which conducted a hearing on the tax-exempt hospital sector. Keehan chairs the board of Sacred Heart Health System in Pensacola, Fla. She spoke the day after Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced that the Senate Finance Committee, which he chairs, had asked 10 nonprofit hospitals or health systems to account for their charitable activities in light of their tax-exempt status. Rep. Bill Thomas, R-Calif., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said at the House hearing that "the standards for tax exemption are not just an academic debate." In reviewing the broad ways Catholic hospitals benefit local communities, Keehan stressed that the services of Catholic hospitals are not provided "to justify continued tax exemption" but because serving communities in this way is integral to their identity and mission. Keehan's text follows.
“虽然当代天主教医疗保健和其他非营利医疗保健机构在质量、创新和技术方面表现出色，但它们仍然是社区利益组织，因为社区需要而成立和维持。”美国天主教健康协会(Catholic Health Association of the United States)董事会主席、慈善之女卡罗尔·基汉(Carol Keehan)修女于5月26日在华盛顿向众议院筹款委员会(House Ways and Means Committee)作证时说，该委员会就免税医院部门举行了听证会。基汉是佛罗里达州彭萨科拉市圣心健康系统的董事会主席。在她发表讲话的前一天，爱荷华州共和党参议员查克·格拉斯利(Chuck Grassley)宣布，他担任主席的参议院财政委员会(Senate Finance Committee)已经要求10家非营利医院或医疗系统根据其免税地位，对其慈善活动进行说明。加州共和党众议员比尔·托马斯(Bill Thomas)众议院筹款委员会(Ways and Means Committee)主席，在众议院听证会上表示，“免税标准不仅仅是一场学术辩论。”在回顾天主教医院造福当地社区的广泛方式时，Keehan强调，提供天主教医院的服务不是为了“证明继续免税的合理性”，而是因为以这种方式服务社区是其身份和使命的组成部分。下面是基汉的文字。
