Science has long been a theme in literature. The Great Books Discussion Group's opening selections explore contrasting views: Rappaccini’s Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) raises moral questions about experiments on his daughter, while Claude Bernard’s An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine (1813–1878) examines ethics in human research. Parishioner Naomi Harper will lead the discussion.

The Great Books Discussion Group meets Thursday, September 11, at 7:00 PM in McDonough Hall, Side B. and monthly thereafter with selections from the Great Books Foundation series. For details, contact Patrick Carey at 770-241-2511.
