Christianity in the Philippines: UST's Contribution to Bioethics

Abstract

In my reflection entitled Christianity in the Philippines: UST’S Contribution to Bioethics, I focused on four major points. First, the iter or journey of bioethics in the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Manila. Second, the grounding reasons for bioethics in the University’s Faculties of Theology and of Medicine and Surgery, and the future of Bioethics from a theological point of view. Third, the curricular offerings of the UST Faculties of Theology and Medicine and Surgery in Bioethics. Fourth, the need of bioethics for everyone. I reflected on bioethics from an ethical and theological perspective – from reason and faith.
