520 |a This book integrates theology, methodology, and practical application into a detailed and practical examination of the bioethical issues that confront students, scholars, and practitioners. Noted bioethicists Gerard Magill, Henk ten Have, and David F. Kelly contribute diverse backgrounds and experience that inform the richness of new material covered in this second edition. The book is organized into three sections: theology (basic issues underlying Catholic thought), methodology (how Catholic theology approaches moral issues, including birth contol), and applications to contemporary issues. New chapters discuss controversial end-of-life issues such as forgoing treatment, killing versus allowing patienst to die, ways to handle decisions for incompetent patients, advance directives, and physician-assisted suicide.--Publisher description.
