Thanks so much for such an inspiring interview. My brother was born with Trisomy23 in 1950s, at a time where institutionalization was recommended. This is my first exposure to Dr. Lejeune and I am grateful to The Pillar for such a glimpse.
Thank you for this interview. As a student of a health profession I often wonder how to muster up the courage needed to remain firm in my principles amidst a culture of death. Ven. Jerome Lejeune’s life is such a necessary example.
I sincerely hope that this man is recognized as a Saint. His biography, Jérôme Lejeune, A Man of Science and Conscience by Aude Dugast, had a greater impact on me than anything else I’ve read in recent memory.
I have always been fascinated with Venerable Jerome LeJeune. I remember once quoting him on FACEBOOK (the very brief time I was on it) about the new life was genetically unique from its mother. People came out of the woodwork to criticize and had no interest in the credentials of this great scientist. I pray that he was met with "come in good and faithful servant" and the joy that others tried to deprive him of was amplified. I pray for their conversion too. Thank you to this wonderful witness and to the PILLAR for bringing us the story!
--> This was a wonderful interview, a beautiful recollection of a saint (small "s"; for now?). There were so many brilliant aspects to his life, that he's surely shining brightly in Heaven.
I don't know if "few comments" corresponds to "few readers", but if so, the few comments here indicate that a great many Pillar readers missed out on what I think was possibly one of the most important articles I've ever read here. Congratulations, Edgar Beltran, and thank you and The Pillar.
Very moving. Venerable Jerome Lejeune, pray for us!

Thank you for this very inspirational article on Venerable Jerome Lejeune: he can teach us so much, if only we can listen to him with our hearts.
