On Friday, Monaco’s Prince Albert II met with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. The two discussed issues such as the defense of life, morality for young people, as well as the environment, which both leaders care much for.
On the topic of defense of life, there is a possibility that the Pope and the Prince touched on stem cell research. Prince Albert is patron of the 2nd International Congress on Responsible Stem Cell Research, which would hold its meeting in Monaco in November. The Congress is organized by the World Federation of the Catholic Medical Association.
The issue to be talked about next month would be “Adult Somatic Stem Cells: New Perspectives.”
Princess Chulabhorn, the youngest daughter of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej, spoke on national television about the health of her father, who has been hospitalized since September 19th.
