-“Europe is approaching the point where the only way to control desperate migrants could soon be the regular use of physical force. Scenes of violence this week on the Greek-Macedonian border, where refugees breached a border fence with a homemade battering ram, and in Calais, where police fired teargas at people protesting against the demolition of their shelters, suggest we are close to a line that we absolutely must not cross. Europe is already guilty of causing the deaths of many migrants by giving them, in effect, no alternative except to risk their lives at sea or on the tracks leading into the Channel tunnel. That is bad enough, and a stain on the record, but to actually battle with migrants in this way is worse. Who can doubt that, if it continues, there will be deaths and injuries?” (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/01/the-guardian-view-on-the-refugee-crisis-little-time-left-to-find-a-solution) (cosmopolitan right of Inmanuel kant)

– “The Catholic Church formally opposes any use of condoms, advising fidelity within marriage or sexual abstinence. But, as the UN reports growing levels of infection, there are signs a shift of Vatican policy is being discussed. Several prominent Church officials, including Cardinal Martini, the former Archbishop of Milan, have already called for a change in Catholic teaching. They say that Church should consider allowing the use of condoms by married couples where one partner is affected by HIV or AIDS. Cardinal Lozano Barragan says the spread of epidemics and new viral infections constitutes a serious threat to health all over the world. Until now, the Vatican has been wary of issuing any document which could be interpreted as giving the green light for the use of condoms to stop the spread of aids on the grounds that this would encourage promiscuity. ‘No response from the church can encourage a libertine sexual attitude,’ the Cardinal said.” (the harm principle, self- and other-regarding actions of John Stuart Mill).
