Qjkgftte Friday, June 5, 1992 Page 5 Guilty plea expected in Gaddis case guilty to some counts to avoid a trial in July, said his attorney, J. Robert Kalenish. "I've talked it over with Rickie, and we've decided our best option is to work out some sort of plea agreement," Kalenish said Thursday. Assistant District Attorney David Tuiowitzki said Gaddis guilty plea would keep his children off the witness stand, sparing them hours of trauma. He said prosecutors want to finish his case before addressing charges against Debbie Gaddis.

Kalenish will meet with prosecutors Tuesday to discuss the plea.

The Cell Transplant Society was to announce its position at a meeting this week in Pittsburgh.

Even with the delay, its president said the group is likely to support tetai tissue research. Tissue from aborted fetuses has been used in experimental treatments for some diseases. "I don't see how anybody who is in the society could be against it," said Dr. Camlllo Rlcordi, who was chosen as the society's president. "The purpose of this society is to promote research, and fetal transplants are a critical part of research." Ricordi, an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh's medical center, said the group may act on the issue when it meets in Paris in August.

Fetal tissue research has entered the debate between anti-abortion groups and those favoring abortion rights. Some abortion opponents contend allowing research on fetal tissue could lead to profiteering from abortions. Doctors who support the research said it could provide insights into Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. President Bush has proposed creating a tissue bank of miscarried fetuses but excluding fetuses from elective abortions. Ricordi said his group was not concerned with the political aspects of fetal tissue research, but he said U.S.

researchers risk falling behind their European counterparts if the research is banned. Police say woman tried to sell baby LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) A 23-year-old Lancaster woman was arrested and charged with trying to sell her child to a Millersville couple. Cynthia Fulmer Martinez allegedly offered to sell the four-month-old girl for $3,000, according to a police affidavit. She was charged Thursday with dealing in infant children, a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

"I didn't mean to," said a tearful Martinez at her arraignment Thursday night. She said she needed the money for a tubal ligation, a sterilization procedure, and to pay other medical bills. District Justice Richard W. Mus-ser released her on $5,000 bail. He set a preliminary hearing for June 9.

City police detective James Bre-neman said Martinez made arrangements to sell the child. However, the transaction never took place after police and the Lancaster County Children Youth Social Service Agency intervened.

While the vegetarian has a right to his personal choice, we should understand the moral position of both alternatives. With that in mind, let's consider what the Bible says about using animals for food.

Upon leaving the Ark. Noah was addressed by God concerning the beasts, the birds, and the fish. God said, 'Eventhing that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you green plants, I now give you everything" Genesis Man has previously been given dominion over the animals (Genesis and now they are clearly approved as food. Under the law given through Moses, Israel continued to eat the flesh of animals, though wrth certain restrictions.

God declared that certain animals were spiritually clean or proper for food, while others were spiritually unclean and not acceptable as food (Leviticus 11; Deuteronomy 14). These dietary restrictions ended, as did the rest of the old law, when Chnst dedicated his new covenant (Epheslans 15; Cotossians Hebrews An Incident in the life of the apostle Peter demonstrates once again the whotosome-ness of God's creatures for food. In Ihe process of preparing him to preach to a Gentile, God showed Peter an assortment of animals and told him to arise and eat (Acts Poter was reminded. "Do not call anything Impure that God has made clean" (vorse 15). The apostle Paul discusses the eating of meat In several contexts (Romans 14, I Corinthians 8 and 10).

In each case, the lightness of consuming meat is understood from the beginning, with the Question being the spiritual impact on another person's conscience. Among other things, Paul writes, the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man wno doos (Romans and, "Eat anything sold in the meat market for, "The earth Is the Lard's, and everything in It" (I Corinthians Paul instructed Timothy to oppose those who might forbid certain foods, recognizing that what God created was good and to be received with thanksgiving I Timothy Certainly we should avoid any harmful extreme or practice, dietary or othorwiae, which damages our bodies since they belong to God and not to us (I Corinthians But, wo should also romember that the wholesome things of God's creation were put hare for us to enjoy (not abUBO), and thoy Includes the use of animals for food.
