Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
Medical students’ attitudes towards issues associated with the beginning and end of human life are analyzed using interdisciplinary approaches and empirical material (statistics, sociological surveys). The purpose of this article is to determine the peculiarities of Christian morality’s influence on the attitudes of contemporary Ukrainian medical students towards the issues of artificial termination of pregnancy and euthanasia. Based on a comparative analysis of the evaluative judgments of three groups of respondents (group 1 — those who consider themselves Christians; group 2 — respondents who are undecided about religious belief; group 3 — those who consider themselves non-believers), a complex relationship …
Assisted Death: Historical, Moral And Theological Perspectives Of End Of Life Options, Catherine Bando
Assisted Death: Historical, Moral And Theological Perspectives Of End Of Life Options, Catherine Bando
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
The paper explores historical positions on suicide and philosophical, theological, and moral positions on physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. In 1900, most people died from infectious diseases, which have relatively short periods of morbid decline. With advances in the biomedical sciences, people are living longer, and most people die from chronic diseases, which are usually accompanied by prolonged periods of morbid decline. In addition to living longer, people today are generally more individualist and seek methods to control many aspects of life. While assisted death is rarely used, it represents a means to control end-of-life suffering. The paper demonstrates that there …
Method In Catholic Bioethics: Anh And Pvs Patients, Gregory J. Smith
Method In Catholic Bioethics: Anh And Pvs Patients, Gregory J. Smith
Bioethics in Faith and Practice
This paper discusses the methods used in Catholic Social Teaching (CST), a part of the Catholic Moral Tradition (CMT), as applied to bioethical problem solving and decision-making. In order to apply CST to a concrete bioethical problem and to analyze the methods used in CST, the nature and extent of the obligation to provide artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) to patients in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) is addressed. In particular, this paper focuses upon the extent to which providing ANH to PVS patients is or should be considered morally obligatory. In this discussion, the current official view of the …
Transcending Liberalism – Avoiding Communitarianism: Human Rights And Dignity In Bioethics, Hille Haker
Transcending Liberalism – Avoiding Communitarianism: Human Rights And Dignity In Bioethics, Hille Haker
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Contemporary bioethics is caught in the Scylla of political liberalism that presupposes a concept of a sovereign and independent individual, thereby more and more promoting a “consumer patient” in the realm of medicine, and the Charybdis of communitarian ethics, here spelled out as care ethics, arguing for the acknowledgment of embeddedness and interdependence and interpreting care as a right and a responsibility. Both approaches, I argue, fall short to provide moral criteria that define the scope or limits of the rights and responsibilities, and they both lack a comprehensive understanding of the moral agency. I argue that the concept of …

Journal of Health Ethics
The aim of the study is to evaluate the attitudes and opinions of Greek health care professionals with regard to cloning. The sample included 303 individuals, medical and nursing personnel. An anonymous questionnaire was used and data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, X2 (Chi Square) test and Mann-Whitney U test. More than 50% of the participants agree that cloning a) offends human dignity, b) devalues the role of the male in human reproduction and c) helps rescue endangered species. Eighty percent of the sample supports that cloning reduces the genetic diversity of humans and nature. Additionally, 71.2% of the …
Autonomy And Care In Medicine, Hille Haker
Autonomy And Care In Medicine, Hille Haker
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This paper argues that the core principle of bioethics, autonomy, is rooted both in the 20th century history of the development of new medical technologies as in political liberalism transferred to medical practices, rendering the medical decision-making of patients a centerpiece of medical interventions. The paper shows how the ambiguity in the interpretation of autonomy reflects the ambivalence of bioethics towards making normative claims on the moral agents insofar as these go beyond the respect for a patient’s autonomy. In the second part, the paper analyzes the alternative approach of care ethics, which intends to emphasize both the vulnerability and …
Oncofertility And The Boundaries Of Moral Reflection, Paul Lauritzen, Andrea Vicini S.J.
Oncofertility And The Boundaries Of Moral Reflection, Paul Lauritzen, Andrea Vicini S.J.
Paul Lauritzen
Advances in medical technology provide regular opportunities to explore theological reflection and magisterial teaching at the border of science and conscience. This article reflects on one such advance involving fertility preservation for cancer patients. The authors argue that ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) poses intriguing questions for Catholic teaching and theologians about reproductive technology.
Catholic Hospital Conscientious Objection In Canada And Rural Areas: An Ethical Analysis, Michelle E. Allain
Catholic Hospital Conscientious Objection In Canada And Rural Areas: An Ethical Analysis, Michelle E. Allain
Digitized Theses
Conscientious objection within health care is defined as a refusal to comply with a medically sanctioned request based on personal moral, or religious moral reasons. Although conscientious objection is an important foundation in bioethics, most research has focused on the legitimacy of its use by individual health care professionals. The following ethical analysis examines the ethical implications of Catholic hospital conscientious objections to providing reproductive services to which they are morally opposed within the context of the Canadian health care system, and more specifically within rural areas. Conclusions o f the analysis suggest that hospitals do not possess a conscience …
The Contribution Of Foundational New Testament Theological Themes To The Meaning Of Basic Bioethics Principles, R. Dennis Macaleer
The Contribution Of Foundational New Testament Theological Themes To The Meaning Of Basic Bioethics Principles, R. Dennis Macaleer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Beauchamp and Childress' Principles of Biomedical Ethics is a well accepted approach to contemporary bioethics. Those principles are based on what Beauchamp and Childress call the common morality. This dissertation employs New Testament theological themes to enhance the meaning of contemporary principles of bioethics. Beginning with the incarnation in the New Testament, the invitation-response hermeneutic is developed as a hermeneutic to use in studying the New Testament. The primary New Testament text for this study is the twin commands from Jesus to love God and love one's neighbor. Three theological themes are developed from this study and these three themes …

Book Review: "Introduction To Jewish And Catholic Bioethics: A Comparative Analysis", Stacey A. Tovino
Scholarly Works
Aaron Mackler’s agenda is to provide an orientation to ethical reasoning in the Roman Catholic and Jewish traditions, explore Roman Catholic and Jewish deliberations in five areas of bioethics, and identify and examine the traditions’ divergent and convergent methodologies. Mackler’s spirit is to learn more about his own religious traditions by studying the traditions of others. Accomplishing his agenda while remaining true to his spirit, Mackler shows just how much Jewish and Catholic thinkers can learn from one another.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research As An Ethical Issue: On The Emptiness Of Symbolic Value, Kevin P. Quinn
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The debate over human embryonic stem cell research-scientific and clinical prospects as well as ethical implications-became front-page news only after two teams of university researchers reported in November 1998 that they had isolated and cultured human pluripotent stem cells. The discovery caused a flurry of excitement among patients and researchers and drew attention from President Clinton, who instructed the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) to "conduct a thorough review of the issues associated with. .. human stem cell research, balancing all medical and ethical issues.”

Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This Article does not provide answers to the religious, ethical, and moral issues posed by advanced reproductive techniques in human cloning. Rather, the preceding analysis and discussion seeks to make a contribution, however modest, to the continuation of the societal discussion that will ultimately yield the answers. This Article presents the common concerns of the religious traditions of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity with their mutual emphasis on preserving the dignity of all beings. This and other common values must form the foundation upon which all questions related to the cloning debate must be predicated.
