Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels.

"Healing the body and mind by healing the soul has always been practiced, more or less successfully, and it can offer limited hopes in relieving a certain amount of human suffering without expecting science to master the human mind. In sum, we can accept certain features of the biotechnical revolution that acknowledge the partial truths of modern science, but they must be tempered by the awareness of the whole truth about man as the mysterious unity of body, rational soul, and an image of the divine eternity."

Robert Kraynak, "Human Dignity and the Mystery of the Human Soul" (President’s Commission on Bioethics)
