Abstract
The author argues that the the promise of secular bioethics—moral guidance untethered to any philosophical anthropology—is impossible to sustain. His point of departure is the work of Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco, O.P., Biomedicine and Beatitude: An Introduction to Catholic Bioethics (Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 2012)
Keywords: Catholicism, biomedical ethics, reproductive rights, Affordable Care Act
