This is the third volume of the series An Irish Reader in Moral Theology: the Legacy of the Last Fifty Years. The first volume dealt with foundation issues in morality, the second with sex, marriage and the family. The editors have now brought together what they consider to be the most significant articles from journals and books by Irish theologians in the area of medical and bio-ethics. Here is a rich source for those who seek to bring themselves up to date on what is happening.
