Welcome To Our New Website!

Over the last few months, we’ve been developing our new website. We hope you like it!

The updated design and functionalities will better enable and enhance our work of bioethical research and informing the public, members of the medical professions, legislators and policy-makers, and the wider community on bioethical issues for the promotion of the Common Good.

We are slowly migrating our back-catalogue of reasources to the new site, so please bear with us, but we have also launched new social media channels on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, to complement our existing Facebook and YouTube channels.

Please do ‘like’ and ‘follow’ us on these, and be sure to have a look around our new site and other resources. We welcome any feedback you may have! Please do ‘like’ and ‘follow’ us on these, and be sure to have a look around our new site and other resources.

We’ll be highlighting key new or improved features of our site over the next few days, such as the new ‘Bioethics in Brief’ series we’re launching, as well as our briefing series on topics such as euthanasia and assisted suicide (EAS) and COVID-19. We welcome any feedback you may have!

Thanks in advance to our followers for your continued support, and we look forward to using these new means of furthering the Centre’s mission, which has never been more important. Stay tuned for new content soon!

Sincerest Thanks for Your Support

Staff are grateful to all those who sustained the Centre in the past by their prayers and the generous financial support from trusts, organisations, communities and especially from individual donors, including the core funding that came through the Day for Life fund and so from the generosity of many thousands of parishioners. We would finally like to acknowledge the support the Centre has received from the Catholic community in Ireland, especially during the pandemic when second collections were not possible.

We would like to emphasise that, though the Centre is now closed, these donations have not been wasted but have helped educate and support generations of conscientious healthcare professionals, clerics, and lay people over almost 50 years. This support has also helped prevent repeated attempts to legalise euthanasia or assisted suicide in Britain and Ireland from 1993 till the end of the Centre’s work on 31 July 2025.
