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.
