The ethical vision of Christianity is centred on the core Christian values or virtues of faith, charity (love), hope, justice, prudence, temperance, fortitude, forgiveness, compassion, generosity, simplicity, patience, service, etc., and founded on the Sacred Scripture. Christianity is always active in confronting bioethical issues and challenges with due importance and seriousness. In the fast developing technological revolution, there emerge a number of bioethical challenges, like biotechnology, genetic engineering, contraception, stem-cell research, war, human experimentation, euthanasia, capital punishment, terrorism, reproductive technologies, rising cost of health care, unethical practices in medicine, geriatric health care, and organ transplantation.Pages:409-426engWith permission of the license/copyright holderprudenceHindu EthicstemperancefortitudeforgivenessPolitical ethicsReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsChallenges in bioethics : a Christian visionBook chapter
