Year 12 - Questions For Bioethics
From an address by Most Rev Anthony Fisher OP: Launch of Catholic Bioethics for a New Millennium, University of Notre Dame Australia Sydney, Tuesday 31 January 2012
I wrote my first book while I was an undergraduate at the University of Sydney, an institution now best known for being near the University of Notre Dame. I was very involved in the pro-life movement at that time.
The book was on Abortion in Australia and I have been somewhat type-cast ever since: most of my publications have ended up being in the area of bioethics. I never dreamed where such pursuits might take me! Since then the questions in health ethics have only multiplied, such as:
- When do people begin and how would we know?
- What’s all the fuss about stem-cells and are there more and less ethical ways to achieve therapies?
- Is abortion a new form of eugenics? Who should live and who should die on the basis on their genes or wantedness, who decides and in whose interests?
- Are organ transplants a good thing or do they kill the donors? How should we think of the relationship between donor, recipient, families and community?
- Do unresponsive patients still matter and should we keep feeding them, even artificially?
- Why are Christians so hung up about killing patients, even those who are already at a very low ebb or who want to die?
- What is the role of a Catholic healthcare institution in today’s world and how can it protect its Catholic identity and ethical integrity in the face of all the pressures?
- How about the healthcare professional? What is their vocation and when may they cooperate in the morally dubious choices of an institution or other professionals?
- What sorts of laws and policies should we make in this area and are pro-life politicians able to vote for ‘bad but better’ laws?

Overview of Christian History
The following link will take you to the webpage of Rev. Felix Just S.J.http://catholic-resources.org/index.html
Introducing the site he states, "This website contains a variety of materials, mostly related to biblical and liturgical studies, intended for scholars, teachers, students, pastors, believers, seekers, and others. Many pages contain my own writings and photographs, some were created by my students, and some are collections of links to other websites. Although I am a Roman Catholic priest and have taught mostly at Catholic universities, I hope that these materials are academically reliable and pastorally adaptable enough to be useful for many other Christians and non-Christians as well."
