Eight Theories of Justice
Cult books revisited
In Fabricated Man, Paul Ramsey railed against humans 'playing God', argued that our embodied nature sets limits on what we may ethically do and established covenant fidelity as a basis for bioethics. Subsequent works in the field have been constrained to respond to his challenges and perspective. This essay notes seven major themes that continue to influence the field of bioethics
On Hope and Hard Choices
In Handle with Care (2009), novelist Jodi Picoult presents a heartbreaking case involving the question of wrongful birth. This essay examines Ronald M. Green's writings in the field of bioethics to see what wisdom they might bring to this case. I argue that Green's contributions to bioethics exemplify some of the best of ethical argumentation: attention to facts, discernment of morally relevant differences, enunciation and justification of princi…
Sacred Cells?
Unknown to most outside observers, from the earliest days of embryonic stem cell research through today's latest developments, Christian theologians have been actively involved with leading laboratory research scientists to determine the ethical implications of stem cell research. And contrary to popular expectation, these Christians have been courageously advocating in favor of research. Three of these dynamic theologians tell their story in Sac…
Moral Pluralism and the Debate over Research on Embryonic Tissue
Debates about embryo and human embryonic stem (ES) cell research reveal deeply divided judgments about the status of early forms of human life and are often occasions for polemics rather than respectful dialogue. It is a merit of these two books that they engage their subjects thoughtfully and earnestly, even though they take very different approaches. Green describes his work as a philosophical memoir (p. xv) of his experiences as a member of th…
The Human Embryonic Stem Cell Debate
Human embryonic stem cells can divide indefinitely and have the potential to develop into many types of tissue. Research on these cells is essential to one of the most intriguing medical frontiers, regenerative medicine. It also raises a host of difficult ethical issues and has sparked great public interest and controversy. This book offers a foundation for thinking about the many issues involved in human embryonic stem cell research. It consider…
Human Embryonic Stem Cell Debate
Research with Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Geron Corporation announced that scientists working in collaboration with Geron had succeeded in establishing cell culture lines of human embryonic stem (hES) cells.Because these cells are considered pluripotent (capable of being the precursors to a variety of human cell types) and immortal (sustainable in culture and reproducing themselves indefinitely), they represent a major breakthrough in scientific research, with potential for significant a…

Beyond Respect for Persons & Beneficence
Fetal Research
Commentary
Fetal Research
The June 1975 issue of the Hastings Center Report published the Deliberations and Recommendations of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects concerning the regulation of fetal experimentation. The Commission's most controversial conclusions were as follows: First, it voted to allow non-therapeutic research on the human fetus, provided important biomedical knowledge could not be gained in any other way, proper consent had been…
Abortion
Mongoloid Children and the Burden of the Family
In Report #2, Marc Lappe wrote the following about possible abortion of a fetus discovered to be mongoloid: “Indian ahimsa holds that if this child's birth brings no additional suffering into the world (as it would not if parents are warm and loving; mongoloid children can live happily and respond to human warmth), it must be allowed to pass.” These letters are in response
