Parliament was urged to examine these questions. When the House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics invited views on these points the House of Bishops of the Church of England submitted a joint statement with the Roman Catholic Bishops of England and Wales. That statement, which is reproduced here, is a clear statement of our Churches’ approach to these questions."engWith permission of the license/copyright holdereuthanasiasuicidesanctity of lifepersonal autonomydouble effectadvance directivespalliative caredoctor's dutyReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsBioethicsMedical ethicsHealth ethicsChristian denominationsRoman CatholicAnglicanDogmaticsThe human beingPractical theology and theological educationTraining of church leadersMinisterial and pastoral trainingLay FormationPreprint
