摘要

Despite the rise of the medical humanities in general in recent decades, theological bioethics—during a very similar period of time—was marginalized from many central bioethical discussions. This is problematic for a number of reasons. First, because theologians invented the discipline of bioethics and deserve a place at the table. Second, because the marginalization is often ideologically motivated. And third, because the vision of the human person that theologians bring to the table is essential for understanding the moral status of the proundly disabled.
