Transplanting the Womb: A Catholic Bioethical Analysis

written by Andrew S. Kubick

Emergent technologies, especially in the realm of medicine, require new ethical examinations to determine their moral implications. Too often, the march of technological progress well outpaces these examinations, leaving doctors, researchers, and the general public without proper guidance regarding the morality of novel procedures. When this occurs, it is the duty of bioethicists to evalate these emergent technologies and procedures to determine what is morally permissible.

 Transplanting the Womb: A Catholic Bioethical Analysis, by Andrew S. Kubick, PhD, gives an extensive account of the ethical ramifications of uterus transplantation (UTx). Adapted from Kubick’s doctoral dissertation, it examines the previous decade of advancements in this emerging field of medicine, evaluating both the progress made and the ethical concerns surrounding the process. The analysis is necessary, as no previous publications have provided an exploration of such depth. This book weighs both secular and Catholic ethical traditions, providing a detailed account of the development of the process, the literature published on the matter, and the process’s place in the context of sound Christian anthropology.

 Academically rigorous and faithful to the Catholic intellectual tradition, Kubick’s work will leave readers with both a greater understanding of uterus transplantation and a deeper appreciation of Catholic moral philosophy.

The Right to Privacy

written by Janet E. Smith

forward by Robert H. Bork

The renowned Catholic philosopher and polemicist, Janet Smith, argues that the idea of a “right to privacy” is an invention of the courts used to advance a morality completely at odds with traditional Western views, especially in the areas of contraception, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and homosexual “marriage.”
