Episode 5: Mary Anne Urlakis Traces the Origin of the Academic Discipline of Bioethics (January 7, 2019)

In this episode of Inter Vitam et Mortem, Mary Anne Urlakis traces
the origin of the academic discipline of Bioethics, and
distinguishes between the type of decision making used in secular
bioethics and that used in authentically Catholic Bioethics. She
discusses some of the atrocities that culminated in the new
discipline of Bioethics (less than 100 years old); including the
horrific nature of the Nazi experiments revealed during the
Nuremberg Trials and the national outrage in the U.S. after the
news media exposed of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. This show is
meant to give an overview of the scope of Bioethics, its necessity
in modern medical decision making, its truly Catholic character,
and the range of issues on the horizons. (January 7, 2019)
