Alongside a revival of interest in Thomism in philosophy, scholars
have realised its relevance when addressing certain contemporary
issues in bioethics. This book offers a rigorous interpretation of
Aquinas's metaphysics and ethical thought, and highlights its
significance to questions in bioethics. Jason T. Eberl applies
Aquinas's views on the seminal topics of human nature and morality
to key questions in bioethics at the margins of human life -
questions which are currently contested in the academia, politics
and the media such as: When does a human person's life begin? How
should we define and clinically determine a person's death? Is
abortion ever morally permissible? How should we resolve the
conflict between the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell
research and the lives of human embryos? Does cloning involve a
misuse of human ingenuity and technology? What forms of treatment
are appropriate for irreversibly comatose patients? How should we
care for patients who experience unbearable suffering as they
approach the end of life? Thomistic Principles and Bioethics
presents a significant philosophical viewpoint which will motivate
further dialogue amongst religious and secular arenas of inquiry
concerning such complex issues of both individual and public
concern.
