This succinct guide clearly sets out catholic teaching on today's most debated issues: stem cell research, reproductive technologies, euthanasia, and much more.

The purpose is to show how catholic teaching can help people today navigate their way through tough decisions and choices. The book is divided in to four parts Part 1: Bioethics from a Roman Catholic perspective Part 2: Reproductive technologies Part 3: End-of-life issues Part 4: Catholic teaching on living life until the end
