Carl and Todd delve into the evolving complexities of medical ethics in today's world with guest Farr Curlin, the Josiah C. Trent Professor of Medical Humanities at Duke University and co-author of The Way of Medicine: Ethics and the Healing Profession. Together, they explore the crucial role of pastors in guiding their congregations through ethical medical decisions, the significance of understanding human identity, and the challenges posed by advancements in medical technology.
…the field of healthcare, the profession of medicine, is divided by disagreements about what medicine is for, divided by or even completely agnostic regarding what it means to be human, and in the absence of a clear understanding of how medicine fits into a well-lived life, is basically offering to do everything possible to try to keep people alive, or offering to relieve people's suffering, however that's understood, in ways that it seems to me are not really compatible with the Christian story. – Farr Curlin
In this enlightening conversation, Farr shares helpful insights on approaching medical ethics with biblical discernment.
Thanks to the generosity of Notre Dame Press, we are pleased to offer award copies of The Way of Medicine: Ethics and the Healing Profession to our listeners. Congratulations to Judy J. from Summerset, SD, Michael R. from Fresno, CA, and Ben K. from Chesapeake, VA!
