Biblical Ethics Relevant for any age

• Agree

  For many Christians the bible gives very clear guidelines on medical ethics

  e.g Jehovahs witnesses refusing to accept blood transfusions because on biblical biblical teaching

  -> "You must not eat the blood of any creature."
• Disagree

  Bibical teaching can inform us about key issues relevant to medical ethics such as the SOL, But there is no definitive teaching on specific issues such as abortion

  e.g Sarah Ewart (no skull)

  e.g Utilitarianism to help address medical ethics
