Abstract
This is the first volume in the Horizon in Bioethics series, produced by the staff of The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity in the suburb of Chicago. The series is intended to be a serious engagement about bioethical issues from the Christian-Hippocratic tradition. The twenty-three essays in this volume emerged from the inaugural conference on bioethics held at the Center in collaboration with Trinity International University and the Christian Medical and Dental Society.
