over which we have no control,
there are no accidents. ...In the
lastanalysis, it's the character
of the individual that deter-
mines our safety."
Dr. Goth condemned society
as "very superficial --more
concerned:wiith-the sociological-
leveis----rnstea:d.--of- first'Orin=
ciples." This misinterpretation
of values, he said, has resulted
in "asocial menace of gigantic
. and frightening proportions.':
"We're' doing all sorts of
foolish things in this age,— he
continued, citing fast driving,
smoking and drinking. , as
dangerous acts of irrespon-
sibility. "It's sheer stupidity ...
a slow way of committing
suicide -- really a -puzzle to
me." ,
Organizations like the IAPA,
he said, are just "piddling
around with machines" as a
measure of their concern with
safety. 'We don't do very much
about the real dangers,"he
said. "We're in a jam today and
we've got to stop pussyfooting
around. ll1We've done a great
deal, but we've,failed a lot."
Pr; Goth said the cures for
society's ills were a return to
"Integrity ... honesty ... faith in`
ourselves and convictions, As a
-rnan--thinks, so he -perform:,. If
—you dori'i care, you can't
you're not safe. All the safety
gadgets and measures won't
help us if we don't .g6t• back"to
o basics,"
Dr. Goth quoted T.S. Eliot
several times in his • talk,
quoting the phrase "quest for
permanent things" as the true
goal for present day man. He
cited greed as a major factor in
the present, • dilemma: "We
have been told that if we want
anything, we can . have it.
Everybody's' doing it."
He concluded with' a slightly
pessimistrc 'but . challenging
statement: "I'm not sure our
kind of society is safe for the
survival of .man but are we
worthy of survival?"
•
with a person we have no use
for and who upsets us a great
deal, the law prevents us from
hiring someone to kill that
person to satisfy our personal
feelings.
'�Th,e Law falls short,
however, when it refuses to
give the same protection to the
unborn who is biologically and
scientifically also a, person. The
mother has no use for -the baby,
it upsets her greatly, so , she
hires someone to kill the child
and the Law sile�ntly stands by.
"A lot of meditation,has gone
into the making up of our Laws.
Our Legal system has been
adYancjng to a higher calibre -
recognizing the rights of
' Children - Immigrants, and it
was in 1928 when the law first
recognized the Woman as a
Person !
"A strange twist occurred
with the Abortion Amendment
in 11969 which pulled the whole
legal system from an ex-
tremely involved plateau to a
More unconscious level. The
consequences to this was that
the Individual in Society is
exposed to more dangers
because they arenot as well
protected frqm the random acts
of other people.
"Little has been done in the
Legal System in recognizing
the "Rights of the Unborn" who..
is biologically and scientifically
also a person.
