Many loving parents would not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives to save their child's. But should they create a new life to rescue an endangered son or daughter? A Los Angeles couple, Abe and Mary Ayala, has taken just such an unusual step. In April, Mary will give birth to a baby girl who was purposely conceived to serve as a bone-marrow donor for her ailing older sister.

If we choose to consume our riches (and more) rather than invest and share them, that is a statement about our spiritual condition, not our economic one. Which brings us back to the question of greatness...
