Healing and Saving Technology

Engaging, intellectual, and deeply reflective, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to navigate the ethical frontiers of medicine, technology, and faith. Drawing from his 25-year career in bioethics, Rev Joseph Tham—physician, priest, philosopher, and theologian—presents an anthology of scholarly articles that explore critical ethical questions in healthcare, technology, and religion. Mentored by Dr Edmund Pellegrino and steeped in the intellectual traditions of Rome's pontifical university, he examines the secularization of bioethics, the interplay between science and morality, the role of interreligious dialogue, and Catholic theological reflections on suffering, dignity, and human identity. With a unique global perspective shaped by his Chinese heritage, Canadian upbringing, and professional engagements across three continents, the author’s accessible writing ensures this book speaks to readers from various backgrounds. Whether you're a bioethicist, a scholar, or simply someone curious about the moral dimensions of modern healthcare, this anthology provides a rich tapestry of insights bridging traditional Catholic teachings with contemporary debates.
