Engaging, intellectual, and deeply reflective, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to navigate the ethical frontiers of medicine, technology, and faith. Drawing from his 25-year career in bioethics, Rev Joseph Tham—physician, priest, philosopher, and theologian—presents an anthology of scholarly articles that explore critical ethical questions in healthcare, technology, and religion. Mentored by Dr Edmund Pellegrino and steeped in the intellectual traditions of Rome's pontifical university, he examines the secularization of bioethics, the interplay between science and morality, the role of interreligious dialogue, and Catholic theological reflections on suffering, dignity, and human identity. With a unique global perspective shaped by his Chinese heritage, Canadian upbringing, and professional engagements across three continents, the author's accessible writing ensures this book speaks to readers from various backgrounds. Whether you're a bioethicist, a scholar, or simply someone curious about the moral dimensions of modern healthcare, this anthology provides a rich tapestry of insights bridging traditional Catholic teachings with contemporary debates.

Father Joseph Tham was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to Canada at fifteen. At the University of Toronto, Canda, he majored in Mathematical Sciences and then graduated from Medical School. After several years of work as a family physician, he entered the Legionaries of Christ and was ordained a priest in 2004. He studied at Rome, where he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation under the direction of Dr Edmund Pellegrino. He is the former dean of the School of Bioethics in Regina Apostolorum, where he teaches bioethics. He is a Fellow of the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights and author and editor of numerous articles and books.
