The Anglican Communion and Bioethics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Bioethics Yearbook ((BIYB,volume 3))

Abstract

In this report, we survey policy statements, monographs, commission reports, periodicals and other materials that, in some sense, represent the views of the member churches of the Anglican Communion on questions of biomedical ethics. In the interval since publication of the first volume in this series, we have gained improved access to church offices around the world. We have identified helpful respondents in the Anglican churches of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and England. (We reported on developments in the churches in Scotland and Wales in the last volume, and we have no additional information for this writing.) We have no knowledge of statements that may have been published in India, Africa or Asia, however.
