Recent times have witnessed the rapid development of science and technology, “triggered by the intelligence and creative energies of man” (GS 4). This progress seems to point to a future when man can surpass his present limits, such as what transhumanism espouses. On the other hand, the same technologies have also been used against man. This is why we need to be reminded about who and what a man is and about his dignity. This book helps us to recover our senses of priorities so that these modern developments will truly be used for the benefit of every single human being in every stage of his or her life.

As always, Fr. Fausto Gomez, OP, a renowned bioethics and moralist invites us to accompany him in his continuing journey in ethics and bioethics towards the fulfillment of a healthy and ethical life in the servient of God. The Journey never ends until we reach our final destination.

That promoting of human life is the root of Bioethics is best emphasized in this most welcome publication by Father Fausto B. Gomez, OP. In medical school, emphasis is made on teaching of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. An important consideration should always be to put the teaching of Bioethics in our decision-making. Ethical appreciation is part of being a good doctor. Advances in medical technology seem to be moving so rapidly that we need to catch up with its bioethical consequences. We need to be guided on topics relevant to present day practice in medicine. This book can truly serve as a ready reference for busy healthcare providers.
