Pope Francis and the Transformation of Health Care Ethics

Viac o knihe

The book critiques the sixth edition of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, highlighting its problematic aspects such as the focus on rules over person-centered care and the lack of acknowledgment of the bishops' credibility issues due to the sex-abuse scandal. It argues for a shift towards a foundation of human dignity and the incorporation of Pope Francis' vision of care, advocating for a more pluralistic and principle-based approach to health care ethics that addresses contemporary social issues like climate change and poverty.
