In the health care ministry, difficult ethical problems often arise that threaten human dignity and demand enlightened and informed responses and interventions. Living wills, physician-assisted suicide, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, organ donation, withdrawal of nutrition and hydration from PVS patients, and allocation of limited health care resources are only a few examples of the many complex situations that arise
in modern clinical and research settings.  (Certification Program Brochure)
