About this listen
This briefing document summarizes key themes from "Ethics Beyond the Individual: Personhood and Social Justice in Medicine," focusing on its critique of liberal individualism in bioethics and its proposal for a more relational, socially conscious approach rooted in Christian personalism and Catholic social teaching. The document argues that medicine is inherently social, demanding a shift from an overemphasis on individual autonomy to a balanced understanding of the human person as a "being-in-community," responsible for solidarity, justice, and the common good. Key areas of application include triage, vaccination, and health equity, all framed within the imperative to uphold intrinsic human dignity and promote the common good.
