Thomas Aquinas is one of the foremost thinkers in Western
philosophy and Christian scholarship, recognized as a significant
voice in both theological discussions and secular philosophical
debates. Alongside a revival of interest in Thomism in philosophy,
scholars have realized 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?
- What ethical mandates and concerns underlie the practice of organ
donation?
"Thomistic Principles and Bioethics" ""presents a significant
philosophical viewpoint which should motivate further dialogue
amongst religious and secular arenas of inquiry concerning such
complex issues of both individual and public concern. It will be
illuminating reading for scholars, postgraduate and research
students of philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, bioethics and moral
theology.
