What is The NCBC?
Today our society faces unprecedented scientific developments that penetrate the very mysteries of life and pose serious ethical challenges to human culture. The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) was established in 1972 to reflect on these developments and to promote and safeguard the dignity of the human person in health care and the life sciences. The Center is unique among bioethics organizations in that its message derives from the official teaching of the Catholic Church which draws from a moral tradition that acknowledges the unity of faith and reason and builds on the solid foundation of natural law.
The Center, based in Philadelphia, works to achieve its mission of defending the dignity of the human person in health care and the life sciences through educational programs, publishing, consultation, and research.
The Center's staff consults regularly on medical and life science issues with the Vatican, the U.S. bishops, public policymakers, hospitals, and international organizations. Vatican agencies that regularly consult with the Center include the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Pontifical Academy for Life.
