Medical Ethics at the End of Life

Reviews ethical values, principles, and issues in end-of-life care. We do so from perspectives informed by the Christian faith, and biblical principles drawing on a breadth of theological voices. We also consider similarities and differences between Christian perspectives and those outside the Christian faith. As we apply Christian values and principles to issues of ethical concern, we explore problems—whether novel or enduring—that plague end-of-life care, particularly in the Canadian context. This equips students for ethical application in local situations.
