Pontifical
Academy for Life
Its objectives are
the study, information and formation on the principal
problems of biomedicine and of law, relative to
the promotion and defence of life, above all in
the direct relation that they have with Christian
morality and the directives of the Church’s
Magisterium. |

COMECE

the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of
the European Community. It is made up of bishops
delegated by the Catholic Bishops' Conferences
of the European Union and it has a permanent secretariat
in Brussels. |

Day

Confreneces of Ireland, Scotland, England and
Wales. |

The
Linacre Centre
The Linacre Centre exists to promote understanding
of Catholic teaching on abortion, assisted conception,
advance directives, contraception, euthanasia,
genetic engineering and other issues in biomedical
ethics. Much of the Church’s teaching on
these topics coincides with what was once widely
recognised as the tradition of common morality
which is the moral basis of just legislation and
the fundamental ethical framework for the practice
of medicine. |
| |
The
Bioethics Committee of the Irish Bishops' Conference
The
intention in establishing the bioethics committee
was that it would contribute to the development
and understanding of an ethos, consistent with
the values of the Gospel, in relation to issues
of healthcare and bio-medical research. |
