Book Reviews of Catholicism & Ethics Text: A Medical - Moral Handbook
Book Review: Clear thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
All the books in this series are excellent. They are short and very readable. In Catholicism and Ethics, the authors use clear, logical thinking to lead the reader through a myriad of ethical issues, ranging from abortion to euthanasia to human cloning to hypnosis to body piercings. The authors define and use terminology from moral philosophy but continue to write in a readable manner. The authors also give plenty of examples and illustrations to bring all this theory to a practical realm. I can't stress enough how clear the thinking in this book is. We are BOMBARDED these days with sloppy, sloppy thinking, and it is so refreshing to read a book where the authors look carefully at a moral question, what the action is, what the consequences are, and spell out pertinent criteria. Numerous texts, such as Evangelium Vitae and Donum Vitae, are quoted (sometimes at great length) to confirm that the authors are relaying the true teaching of the Magesterium. Excellent book.
Summary of Catholicism & Ethics Text: A Medical - Moral Handbook
After setting forth guidelines for arriving at sound ethical and moral decisions, including how to form a correct conscience, Catholicism and Ethics applies these guidelines to such vital health-care issues as artificial insemination, cloning, test tube babies, organ and tissue transplants, artificial nutrition and hydration, and the use of ordinary vs. extraordinary means. The book also traces the history of the Church s opposition to artificial contraception, shows why abortion and physician-assisted killing are terrible crimes, and presents sample health-care proxies governing end-of-life decisions.Roman Catholicism Books
