Morling Forum: Bioethics
11 September 2021
Come along to Morling's next public forum on Bioethics with Rev Dr Andrew Sloane, Lecturer in Old Testament and Christian Thought at Morling College.
Bioethics raises questions that we need to think about carefully—and faithfully—if we’re to live well as Christians in this time and this place. Some of them are familiar (and controversial, and deeply personal), such as questions related to the beginning and end of life. Others might be new and thought-provoking, such as how we understand and respond to emerging biomedical technologies. And I expect that the COVID-19 pandemic raised questions most of us hadn’t had to think about before about medicine and its role in society. Whatever the questions, we want to come to grips with them in light of our knowledge of the world and of God’s word. This seminar will give you the opportunity to explore these issues, and the underlying ethical framework that might help you answer them, and so equip you to respond faithfully to this changing landscape.
