Abortion, Health Care Reform, Euthanasia, Genetic Engineering: Are You Prepared?

The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity has the resources you need to address these challenges from a Christian perspective!

The stakes are huge the challenges are unavoidable. Public policy shifts embodied in Roe v. Wade, the AND HUMAN DIGNITY currently launched The Baby Doe case, and now Dr. Kevorkian, reflect a comprehensive challenge to the significance of human life. At the same time, new and hard questions are being posed by unprecedented abilities to control reproduction and alter genetic blueprints for life.

In mid-1993, more than a dozen leading Christian bioethicists gathered to assess Christian engagement in the crucial bioethics arena. This group sponsored a major conference in May 1994, “The Christian Stake in Bioethics,” and concurrently launched The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity. The Center has initiated a variety of projects, and collaborative

relationships have been established with many U.S. groups, including the Christian Medical and Dental Society, Nurses Christian Fellowship, and the Christian Legal Society, as well as non-U.S. institutions such as the Centre for Bioethics and Public Policy in London, England, and the Lindeboom Instituut for Medical Ethics in Ede, Holland.
