From rapid advances in science and technology, bioethics has attained preeminence in studies on ethics. Its impact on studies in moral theology has been just as great. Who has the power to make life and death choices? What are the implications of those choices?
Basterra examines human behavior in two specific areas: life sciences (including research) and health care. The perspective is specific: what are the moral values and principles behind or affected by that human behavior? His work is thoroughly researched and clearly presented so that it may be of value not only to those familiar with scientific and medical language but to all who have a stake in these complex issues.
