This is Molly Hemingway, encouraging you to listen to my favorite podcast, issues, etc.

Every day you get in-depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin asking expert guests, substantive, thought-provoking questions on all of the important news and issues of our day.

The expert guests are in culture, law, ethics, philosophy, theology,

and apologetics. Expert guests? Expansive topics. Always extolling Christ. Issues, etc. The field of health care has become a battlefield, a battlefield for the conscience, not only doctors, but also those who attend doctors.

Nurses face conscience-searing questions every day and how do we not

only protect their consciences, but what kind of bioethical principles can we offer them in order

to navigate those dangerous waters to the conscience?

Welcome back to Issues, Et cetera.

I'm Todd Wilkin.

Joining us for the conclusion of our conversation on bioethics for Nurses, Dr. Charles Comosi.

He's Associate Professor of Moral Theology and Bioethics at the Catholic University of America, co-author of the book, Bioethics for Nurses, A Christian Moral Vision.

Dr. Comosi, welcome back.

Hey, Todd.

We concluded our last conversation talking about a lot of this being rooted in

the imitation of Christ. What does Christ reveal about what it means to be human?

Well, one of the great things Christians can claim, of course, is Jesus Christ is our

sibling, right? Through baptism, we're brothers and sisters in Christ.

And one of the most important ways, I think, that Christ reveals about what it means to be human is that

what it means to be human is not just a body and not just a soul, but in the case of Jesus, right, the Logos, the word became flesh.

We're both spirit and body together, even in our afterlife, right?

We believe in the resurrection of the body as Christians because Christ was raised, body,

and soul, even with the marks of his crucifixion on his glorified body.
