The Linacre Centre is a Roman Catholic academic institute that engages with the moral questions arising in clinical practice and biomedical research. It brings to bear on those questions principles of natural law, virtue ethics, and the teaching of the Catholic Church, and seeks to develop the implications of that teaching for emerging fields of practice. The Centre engages in scholarly dialogue with academics and practitioners of other traditions. It contributes to public policy debates as well as to debates and consultations within the Church. It runs educational programmes for, and gives advice to, Catholics and other interested healthcare professionals and biomedical scientists. The Linacre Centre can help you consider questions such as: What's wrong with cloning? Is euthanasia ever justified? How should couples respond to fertility problems? When, if ever, may a doctor perform an abortion? When can we safely say a person has died? What about the law?... ***NEWS*** NEW - International conference on Fertility, Infertility and Gender in Maynooth, Ireland, 16-18 June 2010 - flyer and booking form now available.
