Listen to top bioethicist John Fleming address issue of pre-viability inductions

Dr John Fleming, SPUC's bioethical consultant, is currently in the British Isles, addressing meetings of Catholic clergy and others on two of the top ethical issues today: same-sex marriage and abortion in Ireland. On the latter subject, Fr Fleming spoke at several meetings in Ireland about the issue of induced delivery of pre-viable unborn children, on which I have blogged recently:

• Savita Halappanavar death tragic but abortion doesn’t save women’s lives
• Induced delivery of non-viable children is neither ethical nor Catholic
• Pius XII's teaching on double-effect did not allow induced delivery of non-viable children
• Abortion includes D&Cs and deliberate pre-viability inductions

You can listen to Fr Fleming's presentation on the issue recorded in Dublin, either directly below or on SPUC's channel on YouTube. The video consists of an audio recording accompanied by slides.
