  • Title: Libertarian bioethics and religion: the case of H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.
    Author: Merry MS.
    Journal: Bioethics; 2004 Sep; 18(5):387-407. PubMed ID: 15462023.
    Abstract:
    This paper is a critique of certain moral perspectives that are found in the second edition of Engelhardt's Foundation of Bioethics. These views are spelled out in explicit detail in his second edition, and follow on the heels of a profound religious conversion. Engelhardt is an eminent bioethicist with strong religious convictions that overlay much of his writing. The author wishes to question some of the conclusions that Engelhardt reaches as they touch upon moral frameworks, pluralism, and a 'secular' bioethics.
