The Mission of The National Catholic Bioethics Center is to promote and safeguard the dignity of the human person, thereby sharing in the ministry of Jesus Christ and his Church. This is accomplished through research, education, consultation and publication in the health and life sciences.
The National Catholic Bioethics Center strives to be an effective resource and positive force in the Church and society for promoting and safeguarding respect for the dignity of each human being from conception until natural death by helping those involved in health care to understand how the moral teachings of the Church apply to developments in health care and the life sciences.
