The Center for Bioethics and Ohio Right to Life join forces

The Center for Bioethics is excited to partner with Ohio Right to Life to create a pro-life DVD entitled “Ethics and the Embryo.” The DVD is intended to educate high school students, Sunday School teachers, pro-life activists, and the general public about the ethical implications of new technologies that affect embryonic human life. Some of the topics include cloning, embryonic stem cell research, reproductive technologies, and eugenics. “Ethics and the Embryo” is scheduled for release next year.  Keep watching our Web site for more updates!

During fall semester, Center Director Dennis Sullivan has been teaching a 10-week course entitled "Christian Ethics in the 21st Century." About 40 members of Shawnee Hills Baptist Church attend for two hours each Monday evening, as part of the their Bible Center program.

Center Director Dr. Dennis Sullivan will be teaching a course entitled “Current Issues in Bioethics” beginning in February 2009.  This course is part of the Cedarville University Master of Education program.

Future Initiatives:

Cedarville University Center for Bioethics is working to develop a new Master of Arts program in Bioethics, along with a Graduate Certificate. These programs will equip students and graduates in healthcare, law, and Christian ministries to critically evaluate and engage the ethics challenges in our technology-dominated culture. We hope to launch these new programs in the summer of 2010. Please pray with us for funding to make these and other projects possible.
