«At universities, I have often seen highly intelligent people participate in lectures, nodding when they considered whether their children were a species of animal when they were much younger. But at the zoo, I’ve never seen a conference of chimpanzees discourse on whether their children will be university professors when they grow up»

Jérôme Lejeune. A Man of Science and Conscience
The intelligence of one is a gift for all. Such is the case of Jérôme Lejeune, an extraordinary man who put his brilliance at the service of children with Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). A pioneer of modern genetics, Dr. Lejeune discovered the chromosomal defect that causes Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). Although covered with international acclaim, for this doctor —dazzled by the beauty of every human life— was always important to keep on improving the care of the patients with this abnormality. As a man of both science and conscience, he advocated for their dignity, and, as a result, he suffered attacks on his reputation.
Aude Dugast spent eleven years working on this definitive biography, consulting thousands of archives. She met at length with Lejeune’s wife and relatives, families of his patients, and his French and foreign collaborators. She invites us to discover the true and untold portrait of Jérôme Lejeune: brilliant scientist close to the great figures of this world, devoted husband and father, and ardent defender of the little ones.”

Keys To Bioethics
Keys to Bioethics objectively introduces the main questions of bioethics that everyone asks themselves. Being based on science and reason, yet also on the ultimate horizon of theology and the Magisterium of the Church, Keys to Bioethics allows the reader to understand, in a simple way, thanks to precise and meticulous information, that human life is beautiful and that it is necessary to behold it in awe, in order to remove the obstacles that cloud our understanding of it. “If these pages manage to increase our knowledge about life and make us understand that we all have a mission as guardians over every human life, then they will have achieved their goal.” Jean Marie Le Méné, President of the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation.
