Catholic Bioethics And The Gift Of Human Life

 General Description:

William E. May

Never has the gift of human life been more threatened. Euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, genetic counseling, assisted suicide, "living wills," persistent vegetative state, organ transplants... modern science has brought complex bioethical decisions about life into every Catholic household.

Now, Professor William E. May fearlessly tackles these hot-topic issues, examining them in light of papal encyclicals, statements from the United States Bishops, and probing analyses from leading orthodox theologians.

About the Author: William E. May is the Michael J. McGivney Professor of Moral Theology at the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. He is an internationally known theologian and coauthor of Catholic Sexual Ethics, Second Edition and author of An Introduction to Moral Theology.
