Notre Dame Press Partners with De Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture on Two New Titles
In partnership with the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, the University of Notre Dame Press is proud to announce the publication of two new titles in the Notre Dame Studies in Medical Ethics and Bioethics series: Bioethics after God: Morality, Culture, and Medicine by Mark J. Cherry, the Dr. Patricia A. Hayes Professor in Applied Ethics and professor of philosophy at St. Edward’s University, Austin, Texas, and The Ethics of Precision Medicine: The Problems of Prevention in Healthcare by Paul Scherz, associate professor of moral theology and ethics at the Catholic University of America.
Bioethics after God explores the relationship between morality and medicine in a society that has denied the existence of God. “This text was a joy to read,” declares Bryan Pilkington, a professor at Seton Hall University. “A number of its claims are not easy to grapple with, but they are well-argued, clearly and politely presented, and should be taken seriously.”
The Ethics of Precision Medicine investigates the ethical challenges raised by precision medicine and its focus on medical risk as opposed to current disease. “Ordinary people should read this book to set themselves free of the illusion that medicine holds in its hands their future,” says Farr Curlin, co-author of The Way of Medicine.
Both books are available for sale directly from the University of Notre Dame Press at undpress.nd.edu or wherever books are sold.
ABOUT THE DE NICOLA CENTER FOR ETHICS AND CULTURE: The de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture is committed to sharing the richness of the Catholic moral and intellectual tradition through teaching, research, and public engagement, at the highest level and across a range of disciplines – both on campus at the University of Notre Dame, and as Notre Dame in the public square.
