And yet, despite large percentages of people affirming the value, the resources available to explain and defend the basis for such equality are few and far between. In his newest book Charles Camosy provides a thoughtful defense of human dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTelling personal stories like those of Jahi McMath, Terri Schiavo, and Alfie Evans, Camosy, a noted bioethicist and theologian, uses an engaging style to show how the influence of secularized medicine is undermining fundamental human equality in the broader culture. And in a disturbing final chapter, Camosy sounds the alarm about the next population to fall if we stay on our current trajectory: dozens of millions of human beings with dementia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHeeding this alarm, Camosy argues, means doing two things. First, making urgent and genuine attempts to dialogue with a secularized culture which cannot see how it is undermining one of its most foundational values. Second, religious communities which hold the Imago Dei sacred must mobilize their existing institutions (and create new ones) to care for a new set of human beings our throwaway culture may deem non-persons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Camosy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565484711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565484719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New City Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Charles Camosy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049949720831,"sku":"9781565484719","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80ef1a51-5d0f-4e6c-ae39-fd9da3a33917.jpg?v=1685004320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/losing-our-dignity-charles-c-camosy-9781565484719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
