Some of us know that we can expect that someone who is a Thomist, a priest with extensive pastoral experience (including hospital work), a trained scientist, and a teacher of undergraduates, graduate students, and parishoners would write a terrific book on bioethics. Our expectations are amply satisfied in Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco's Biomedicine and Beatitude: An Introduction to Catholic Bioethics. Austriaco uses his multiple talents, impressive education, and diversified experience to wonderful effect as he presents a thoroughly up-to-date treatment of bioethics... In my view, Biomedicine and Beatitude is now the finest general book on Catholic bioethics available.... Austriaco has performed a great service for those of us who teach bioethics and those who want a clear but sophisticated overview of Catholic bioethics. --Janet Smith, The Thomist
