"In one adroit volume, M. Therese Lysaught and Michael McCarthy bring together the rich tradition of Catholic social thought, a fresh reading of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, and key interdisciplinary thought leaders in service of the most pressing ethical issues healthcare faces today. Catholic Bioethics and Social Justice is a gift not only for ethicists, theologians, and mission leaders but for anyone interested in the integrity of Catholic health care."Michael Miller, Jr. System Vice President, Mission & Ethics, SSM Health

"Any reader interested in the implications of current conversations on US health care policy may well find Catholic Bioethics and Social Justice a welcome and instructive starting point."
Reading Religion

"This excellent volume is a blast of fresh air that invites readers into an expansive ethical inquiry outside the confining medical and research spaces where bioethicists often focus. Catholic Bioethics and Social Justice is both a scholarly and a teaching resource. When I select teaching texts, I seek just this combination of lively moral portraits and clear evidence to provoke discussion combined with substantive ethical concepts for students to exercise in sharpening their moral imaginations. Essays are accessible, compact, and substantive."
Monash Bioethics Review

"The volume laudably brings Catholic social thought to bear on Catholic bioethics and raises awareness of a host of important issues."
