Introduction to a Catholic perspective on health care issues

I found this book an excellent introduction into the Church's teachings on contemporary issues of medical ethics. An attempt is made to refute popular liberal arguments--and does a fair job at it. Lots of room for dissagreement and further discussion, however; it is not exhaustive. Emphasis on Papal writings and their implications for pluralist societies. Overall, a good read.
