Bioethics/Sanctity of Human Life
“Bioethics” is a term coined nearly 30 years ago to describe the process of examining the ethics involved with emerging medical technologies and biological research. Bioethics is interdisciplinary, bringing together medicine, law, philosophy and public policy.
Bioethics covers a wide range of topics, including abortion, reproductive technologies, genetic intervention, stem cell research, physician-assisted suicide and end-of-life medical decisions.
Practically speaking, bioethics often touches us where we hurt the most: in illness, infertility and unexpected medical (and sometimes moral) difficulties. For Christians, bioethics is also an attempt to know what the Bible says about these issues and how God would have us respond.
