The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly

The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly seeks to foster intellectual inquiry by publishing articles that address the ethical, philosophical, spiritual, and clinical questions raised by modern medical sciences. The journal, therefore, seeks to improve traditional approaches and promote innovative solutions grounded in practical philosophy.

The Quarterly unites metaphysical inquiry to reasoned and rigorous reflection on the findings of the empirical and experimental sciences. While the Quarterly is committed to examining bioethical issues from a natural law perspective, it remains open to all philosophical traditions in the spirit of informed dialogue.

You can submit manuscripts to the National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly at Submissions@ncbcenter.org. You should receive an acknowledgment within a few days; please follow up with the editors if you do not.
