Anscombe Bioethics Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anscombe Bioethics Centre is a Catholic academic institute based in Oxford, which engages in scholarship, public debate, and education. Established in 1977, it is the oldest bioethical research institution in the United Kingdom.

The Anscombe Centre was formerly known as the Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics and was based in London at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth..[1] Upon moving to Oxford in 2010, it was renamed in honour of Elizabeth Anscombe, who had died in 2001 and was notable for her contribution to moral philosophy both in relation to the understanding of intention[2] and in relation to practical ethical issues such as contraception, abortion, and euthanasia.[3][4][5][6] While alive, Anscombe had contributed to the Centre, most notably drafting a key section of its 1982 report on Euthanasia and Clinical Practice.

Other academics associated with the Centre include John Finnis and John Keown, both of whom were Governors for more than a decade and both of whom contributed to multiple Centre publications (see below).

Anthony Fisher has described the Centre as “not just as the premier Christian bioethics institute in Britain, but as one of the finest in the world, Christian or secular”.[7]

The Anscombe Bioethics Centre is not attached to any Institute of Higher Education but regularly collaborates with St Mary’s University in Twickenham and with Blackfriars Hall in Oxford. The Centre hosts lectures, seminars, conferences and courses, often in collaboration with other institutions. It engages with consultations by governmental and nongovernmental bodies and gives advice to healthcare professionals and others concerned about ethical issues in biomedicine. It produces reports and briefing papers and Centre staff publish books, book chapters and journal articles.

The current director (January to July 2001 and 2010 to present), is Professor David Albert Jones[8] who is also Professor of Bioethics at St Mary's University in Twickenham[9] and Research Fellow at Blackfriars Oxford[10] Its previous directors were:

  • Helen Watt (2001-2010)
  • Luke Gormally (1981-2000)
  • David Williams (1977-1980)

Present and former academic staff include Teresa Iglesias (Research Fellow 1981-1985), Fred Fitzpatrick (Education and Research Officer 1984-1990), Agneta Sutton (Research Fellow 1986-1989 and Deputy Director 1989-1994), Hugh Henry (Education Officer 2003-2004), Patrick Carr (Education Officer 2005-2006), Anthony McCarthy (Research Fellow 2002-2010), Stephen Barrie (Education and Research Officer 2007-2016), Michael Wee (Education and Research Officer 2016-2021), and Chris Wojtulewicz (Education and Research Officer 2021-).

Examples of public policy engagement

[edit]

House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics 1993

[edit]

According to Keown the substantial submission of the Centre, drafted by Gormally and Finnis, was said by one member of the committee to have been “the best submission the Committee received” and the subsequent report of the committee “reflected several of the key points made in the submission”.[62]

House of Lords Select Committee on Stem Cell research 2001

[edit]

A submission by Jones as director to the House of Lords Select Committee on Stem Cell Research 2001 was co-signed by twenty-three theologians including Cahal Daley, Kallistos Ware and Rowan Williams. Though the Committee did not reference this submission, it devoted an appendix to providing an alternative account of the Christian tradition.[63] The submission was subsequently published as a journal article[64] and in two edited collections[65][66] and was the starting point for the book The Soul of the Embryo[67] which was described by Michael J Gorman as “perhaps the first attempt at a full history of the theological status of the embryo”[68] and by Julia Neuberger as “a surprisingly calm look at what Christians and others have had to say”.[69] It was shortlisted for the Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing.[70]

Brüstle stem cell ruling 2011

[edit]

Jones was author of a letter published in Nature, co-signed by an international group of 25 bioethicists, arguing that the question of whether to permit patenting of technologies derived from human embryo research “ought to be more than a question of European commercial interest”.[71] He welcomed the subsequent decision of the European Court of Justice ruling against patentability,[72] and later expressed the view that one positive consequence of Brexit was that it would “remove the 'malign influence' of the UK over human embryo research policy in Europe”.[73]

Assisted suicide and suicide rates 2015

[edit]

After giving evidence Scottish Committee on Health and Sport in relation to the Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill[74] and producing an evidence guide[75] to inform debate in Westminster over Marris Bill, Jones published a paper, together with the economist David Paton, on impact of physician assisted suicide on rates of suicide. The paper concluded that legalising physician assisted suicide was associated with an increase in total suicides (inclusive if assisted suicide) of 6.3%, a result that was statistically significant after controlling for confounding factors and state and year effects.[76] The paper was quoted in the debate in Germany over a law to restrict organised forms of assisted suicide[77] and was also quoted in the context of the debate over voluntary assisted dying in New Zealand[78] and in Western Australia.[79] The paper has been subject to scholarly criticism[80][81] to which Jones has responded.[82]

Criticism of the Centre

[edit]

The utilitarian bioethicist John Harris in a highly critical review of the Linacre publication Ethics in Nursing Practice coined the term ‘linacracy’ for its approach: “If theodicy consists in justifying the ways of God to man, 'linacracy' is justifying the ways of Catholics to each other... [this book shows] once and for all the wickedness to which Catholic philosophy can lead”.[83]

John Walton, who chaired the 1993 House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics, found the Centre’s work on euthanasia to be “useful” but also “biased”: “Although this book is so closely argued that it is not recommended for light bedside reading, it repays careful study and represents a useful, if biased, contribution to a topical and highly emotive subject”.[84] Similarly, MacKenna Roberts of Progress Educational Trust,[85] found the approach taken by speakers at a conference on human embryo research hosted by the Anscombe Centre to be “uncompromising”. However, in contrast to Walton, while she registered her “disagreements”, she did not perceive the perspectives she disagreed with to be expressions of bias: “Catholic perspectives on the human embryo may be infamously uncompromising, but the intelligent and thought-provoking presentations at this conference allayed my concerns of bias, and demonstrated how taking account of the Catholic view can enrich and inform public debate and policy”.[86]
