| Synopsis: |
In a single convenient resource, this book organizes and presents clearly the documents of the Catholic church pertaining to medical ethics. Introductory chapters provide the context for interpreting the Church's teachings and guide the reader in applying the teachings to particular ethical quandaries. This third edition has been updated to incorporate the statements issued since the preparation of the second edition. The authors have revised the introductory chapters to include ideas from the papal encyclical Splendor Veritatis and "Instruction of the Ecclesial Vocation of the Theologian," published by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, concerning the various levels of the teachings of the Church. Other new statements included in this edition are relevant topics from the papal encyclical "Evangelium Vitae" (abortion, euthanasia, amniocentesis, suicide and withdrawing life support); "the Vatican Congregation of Doctrine and Faith" on uterine isolation; the U.S. bishops on the care of anencephalic infants, genetic testing, and cloning; and, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference on the treatment for rape in Catholic hospitals. |
