This introductory text, written from within the Catholic moral tradition, narrates a bioethics that emphasizes the pursuit of beatitude in the lives of those who are confronted by moral questions raised by biomedicine and the other life sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Catholic moral vision that informs this volume is rooted in the moral life described by the Lord Jesus Christ in his Sermon on the Mount. As Pope John Paul II taught in his moral encyclical, \u003ci\u003eVeritatis splendor\u003c\/i\u003e, we imitate Christ by seeking, with God's grace, to perfect ourselves through our actions and the virtues they engender. In this way, Catholic bioethics differs from other contemporary approaches to bioethics that focus on either the outcomes of human acts or the procedures that protect the autonomy of the human agent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides ethical questions raised at the beginning and the end of life, Nicanor Austriaco, O.P., discusses the ethics of the clinical encounter, human procreation, organ donation and transplantation, and biomedical research. Finally, the text discusses the realities faced by citizens of faith living in a free and democratic society that is at the same time postmodern, secular, and liberal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco, O.P., is assistant professor of biology and instructor of theology at Providence College. In biology, he and his students are investigating the genetic regulation of programmed cell death in several model unicellular eukaryotes. In theology, he has published essays on bioethics and on the interaction between science and religion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR THE BOOK:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"The text is unique because it is truly interdisciplinary, combining rigorous theological ethics and contemporary biomedicine. The author helpfully organizes the text according to the major issues of the field, such as ethics at the end of life and the ethics of assisted reproduction. Highly recommended.\"\" --\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"Austriaco is successful in reviewing well-known and established ethical positions and arguments in Roman Catholic tradition.
