Causing Death and Allowing to Die

Causing Death and Allowing to Die

  • Semi-Technical
  • David J. Atkinson

This essay wants to concentrate primarily on the very sensitive area of the selective treatment of handicapped newborn babies. It is a response to the trial of Leonard Arthur. It is argued that there is a moral dimension to medical decisions that may not be within the scope of particular medical technical competence. The article sketches a theological perspective from which a range of moral responses to questions of medical ethics can be assessed.
