Abstract

The modern era of genetics has led people to deconstruct the classical meaning of being a human person. Genetic engineering intended to heal the genetic disease turns to be genetic enhancement. Amniocentesis confuses many women during their pregnancy and it directs them into abortions. The biomedical world leaves the prominent Hippocratic Oath, and it creates horrifying effects in the near future. Human person is not considered as a subject anymore, but an object of human productions. This article offers a response of the negative consequences of genetic engineering and amniocentesis in light of the bioethical principle of nonmaleficence, which is richly expressed in the Hippocratic Oath: primum non nocere.

Abstract

This article describes the meaning of conscience according to the definition presented by the Second Vatican Council in the light of Thomistic and Carmelite perspectives and explains the depth of this definition, in order to dispel misconceptions about the meaning of conscience that are widely circulated, and show its proper role in the edifice of moral theology. For this reason, this article elaborates on the harmonious correlation between the two dimensions of conscience, namely, synderesis and conscientia, as well as the harmonious correlation they have with the virtue of prudence which is perfected by the gift of counsel from the Holy Spirit. The pastoral aspect of this article is presented in the end by analyzing the importance of conscience revived by the Church as presented in the apostolic exhortation of Amoris Laetitia.
