| BBC- Religion and Ethics | The
BBC site on important ethical issues |
An impartial approach to many important ethical issues. The site offers the arguments for and agaist, often from a Christian prespective. |
| The
American Journal of Bioethics Online |
Well-designed and packed with information, including Bioethics for Beginners, which aims more at introducing issues than stating viewpoints. How does this site remain so comprehensive and up-to-date? Watch out for the pop-up ads. | |
| New
site about Bioethics and bioethics topics |
A clean and highly informational website. Up to date news and commentaries about recent bioethical issues. Also, this site has a comprehensive links section. | |
| Biblically-based
Union University in Jackson, TN presents this site, which includes
archives from their newsletter Moral Leadership. |
Graphically pleasing and host to a wealth of useful information, mostly in the browsable issues of Moral Leadership. Representative exclusively of conservative viewpoints. | |
| Bold
and comprehensive site of this independent bioethics center. |
Excellent site with exhaustive resources and an overt grounding in both biblical ethics and academia. Impressive list of fellows and advisors includes professors, professionals, and experts from around the nation. | |
| CBE's
site out of Case Western Reserve University |
Lots of information about ethics events around the Cleveland, Ohio area. CenterViews newsletter offers a little discussion of biomedical issues. | |
| Center for Public Justice | Christian
political organization out of Washington, DC. |
CPJ's site encourages extensive Christian unity in public policy-making. This mostly informational page features several interesting online periodicals under its “Resources” section. |
| The
University of Pittsburgh's program, oriented toward the bioethics
debates. |
Of special interest to those working in the health care profession. Includes the Community Ethics newsletter. | |
| The
National Catholic Bioethics Center's online journal; read the
current issue for free or subscribe for access to the archives. |
Thoughtful, academic, and faithfully Catholic analyses of ethical issues in light of biblical and papal revelation. Terrific balance of viewpoints wisely avoids moral pontification. | |
| Sleek
site from Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied
Ethics |
Although this terrific site is produced in academia, look in the articles database for engaging writing on ethics issues everybody faces — not often overtly biblical, but usually thoughtful and balanced. | |
| “Our
Vision is an Ethical World” is the ERC's motto; a site
dedicated to business and personal ethics. |
Balanced and non-religious, the Center promotes character education in public high schools and advises members of political and business circles. Although the site primarily promotes products and services, several online resources are available, including the journal Ethics Today. | |
| Well-engineered
and fully web-published periodical, including a search mechanism
for past articles and a discussion board. |
Largely successful with its attempt to be “interreligious” and “nonpartisan”, this site offers, among other things, lively dialogue between Judiasm and Christianity. | |
| Official
site of the government-sponsored program; exhaustingly informative
in both scientific and ethical issues associated with the controversial
project. |
As expected, the “Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues” section steers clear of many hot topics, but for accurate statistics and scientific facts this site is unsurpassed. And don't forget to check out the free chromosome poster. | |
| Lively
site of the folks behind, among other projects, the Character
Counts education program. |
Various resources on the Institute's seminars and projects, plus anything you ever wanted to know about Character Counts, including an extensive FAQ. | |
| Small-scale
site with online back issues from 1987-1992. No sign of new
issues being posted. |
Concerned more with religous and moral concepts than scholarship, be prepared for more bold, concrete viewpoints and fewer footnotes. Bravo for the attempt at fully scriptural foundations. | |
|
Georgetown University's own ethics center, dedicated mostly
to a discussion of bioethics. Includes a link to their somewhat
comprehensive Bioethics Library. |
Very secular site, promoting a morally and socially liberal perspective, especially the Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (FAB) or high school curriculum sections. | |
| Mockler Center for Faith and Ethics in the Workplace | A
site that works to bring Biblical ethics into the workplace.
|
A site with some decent ethics resources. It also has a brief overview of its main ministries, and how they impact the working world. |
| Independent
compilation of resources provided by a grant from the National
Science Foundation and maintained at CWRU. |
This visually interesting site (designed originally by MIT students) offers encyclopedic information on non-medical scientific ethics. | |
| Informational
page on UCSD's research program. |
A very small site with a few interesting links. | |
| Georgetown
University's theology department, dealing largely also in Christian
ethics. |
Ecumenical from a Jesuit Catholic standpoint, this site covers all the bases in its online newsletter The Woodstock Report. | |
| Yale Center for Theology and Culture | Yale
University's center for Faith and Living |
A well designed site with an expanding links section. The original readings are worth a look, as are their various initiatives. |
