Arthur J. Dyck, PhD (1932-2022) was the Mary B. Saltonstall Professor of Population Ethics in the School of Public Health and Member of the Faculty of the School of Divinity at Harvard University. Dr. Dyck began teaching at Harvard Divinity School in 1965, and he was on the faculties of the Divinity School and the School of Public Health and a member of the Center for Development and Population Studies.
His main concentration was in ethical theory, with special application to questions of moral knowledge, human rights, and issues in bioethics. With Georgetown University Press he revised Rethinking Rights and Responsibilities, originally published in 1994, which reflected his extensive work in moral knowledge and ethical theory. His book on physician-assisted suicide, When Killing is Wrong, was released in April 2001 by Pilgrim Press. He also wrote the Center book Life's Worth: The Case Against Assisted Suicide (2022).
Dr. Dyck was a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy of Fellows of The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity.
