Ian Ramsey, theology and ‘trans-disciplinary’ medical ethics

Abstract

Ian Ramsey, theology and 'trans-disciplinary' medical ethics During the 1960s and 1970s Anglican theologians increasingly endorsed 'trans-disciplinary' discussion of new procedures such as IVF in societies and journals dedicated to medical ethics. 1 Although theological engagement with medical ethics was by no means new, it increased from the 1960s thanks to a decline in religious belief.
