How can Christian ethics make a significant contribution to health
care ethics in today's Western, pluralistic society? Robin Gill
examines the 'moral gaps' in secular accounts of health care ethics
and the tensions within specifically theological accounts. He
explores the healing stories in the Synoptic Gospels, identifying
four core virtues present within them - compassion, care, faith and
humility - that might bring greater depth to a purely secular
interpretation of health care ethics. Each of these virtues is
examined in turn, using a range of topical issues including health
care rationing, genetics, HIV/AIDS, withholding/withdrawing
nutrition from PVS patients, and the empirical evidence which
suggests a connection between religion and health. Professor Gill
also argues that these four virtues are shared by other major
religious and humanistic traditions and that, together with secular
principles, they can enrich health care ethics even in a
pluralistic society.
