Preface
Bioethics with Liberty and Justice: Themes in the Work of Joseph M. Boyle brings together the work of a number of philosophers, theologians, and bioethicists to pay tribute to Joseph Boyle. Over the past forty years, Boyle has contributed to the development of Catholic thought on bioethical issues across a number of areas, many of which are represented in this volume, including: ethical controversies at the beginning and end of life; the role of double effect in medical decision making; the right to health care; the development of a global bioethics; and the application of natural law thinking in medical ethics casuistry. In addition to this professional role, Boyle has also been a colleague, mentor, and friend to many of this volume’s contributors.
