The Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics exists to help Catholics and others to explore the Church's position on bioethical issues and is the only institution of its kind specialising in the field of healthcare ethics in Great Britain and Ireland. Its perspective is informed by Catholic moral teaching, but in defending such teaching it seeks also to enable dialogue with those of no religious faith.
The Centre has built up a large bioethics library at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in London. It has three fulltime research fellows who are able to give time and thought to new and difficult issues in bioethics and it is also able to call upon the help of a range of experts in medicine, law, philosophy, theology and history. It publishes reports, organises conferences and lectures and does consultancy work for individuals and for other organisations. The Centre is developing a research partnership with Blackfriars Permanent Private Hall, University of Oxford. Please see the website www.linacre.org for more information, articles and news.
