Notes from a Narrow Ridge:Religion and Bioethics
Dena Davis, PhD, JD, and Laurie Zoloth, PhD, editors
All of us in bioethics will welcome these notes on the narrow
ridge where religion and bioethics come together.
— Martin Marty, PhD, University of Chicago
Religious and bioethics studies aim at a vision of what is good for the patient or physician, or what a good life might be. How can we address the ambiguous status of claims to religious or ethical truth? How do individuals’ religious beliefs fashion behavior and preference for treatment? How should values and beliefs be understood and respected?
This book suggests how the insights and texts of religion can offer practical reflection on ethical problems in clinical ethics and public policy, and describes the role to be played by religious studies in bioethics.
