After considering the matter at length, the National Catholic Bioethics Center is happy to announce their official stance regarding the now viral Ice Bucket Challenge used to promote awareness about ALS. The Center had not yet taken a public official position on this: "Challenge [which] started trending in late July 2014 [and] has successfully raised awareness about the disease on a dramatic scale, accomplishing its main purpose with great creativity and fun." We hope you will find our commentary helpful in clarifying many elements of and relating to this popular event.
Please take a few moments and read the NCBC's full commentary on the Ice Bucket Challenge, HERE
Happy Friday!
