A Catechism for Health Care

Insights from Catholic Teaching on Human Life, Medical Ethics, and Love of Neighbor
Langbeschreibung
The Catholic church's teachings on ethical issues arising in healthcare delivery and biomedical science are distributed across a plethora of different places ranging from papal allocutions, encyclicals, instructions by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and guidance documents authored by various congregations of bishops. Furthermore, they are distributed throughout time ranging from, for example, the Didache (or teaching of the 12 apostles, circa 1st Century), to Pope Pius XII's address in 1954 addressing ethical issues in transplant, and onto the 2009 instruction entitled Dignitas personae. Collating the Church's reflections on the various issues arising in healthcare delivery and scientific research is a much needed activity to be assimilable by a wider audience.
