0:00.0	Well, welcome back to Catholic Cancer's Live. I'm Psych Hill at your host, as promised
0:19.2	Dr. George Delgado here with us for a pro-life open forum. That means if you've got questions
0:25.8	about the ethical and charitable care of human life from its earliest stages to its very
0:32.6	last moments, and any time in between, maybe there is a particular illness that you'd like
0:39.3	to ask about or a treatment of a disability or what's the ethical use of medications of
0:45.7	this or that type of medication. Whatever it is, you are welcome to call this hour 888-318-788-4.

2:05.9	and the person says, no, I was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that. You can, with some success,
2:12.2	reverse that. Oh, actually, with great success. So our success rates we've documented with our
