Abstract

Religion's fundamental involvement with questions of disease, health, and medicine has given rise to concepts making substantial contributions to the field of bioethics. The purpose of this article is to examine such ongoing contributions in a general way, and then to review how the issue of whether medical technology should be used to prolong life might be approached from the standpoint of several different religious traditions.
