It explains the health-care purpose as treating the whole person, integrating physical, spiritual, emotional, and social factors while addressing how medical specialization creates new pastoral needs. The book motivates dialogue around abortion, euthanasia, and organ transplants, linking individual, family, physician, and community concerns from conception through senescence.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/","Religion

clergyman and a physician who servedas co-chairmen in leading a dialogue groupamong their colleagues.The purpose ofthis book is to show how clergymen andphysicians may organize a dialogue groupin their own local hospital or meetingplace.In addition there are four chapters,entitled:“Man,Superman,or Cyborg”;\"The Abortion Dilemma\";\"Euthanasia\";and“Organ Transplants”,written as\"dialogue starters\"to be read by the groupprior to its regular meeting.A final pagelists some additional subjects the groupmay choose for dialogue.  \n工  \nWHY DIALOGUE?  \n# The Problem:\n\nThe basic purpose of health care is the treatment and rehabilitationof the whole man.Therefore,we must consider all four factors ofhealth:the physical,the spiritual,the emotional,and the social.Theincreased specialization in medicine necessitated by the rapid ex-pansion of knowledge has resulted in an increased specialization by thetreating physician.Clergymen,also,are now impelled into similarareas of specialization in meeting their responsibility to the com-munity.Some have primary areas of interest and training in pastoralcounseling,hospital chaplaincy,inner city work,administration,work-ing for young people,etc.  \nAs a result of medical advancements,dramatic and rapid changes inpatterns of disease and treatment have evolved.Today,the treatingphysician is involved in the care of the individual from the embryostage on,where he may be concerned with problems of hereditary dis-orders or complications of illness of the pregnant mother.Therefore,the consideration of abortion may become an immediate problem.  \nAt the other end of the spectrum with modern supportive care andantibiotics an individual,totally unconscious and with no hope ofrecovery may live for years as a vegetable and thus euthanasia may be-come a crucial moral issue.  \nThe miraculous breakthrough in organ transplants poses a wholeseries of moral problems involving both the recipient and the donor.What we see,then,is that from conception to senescence the individ-ual,the family,the physician,and the community will be continuallyinvolved in and affected by the issues involving the medical com-munity.These challenges arise daily and with increasing frequencyin professional lives.Collaboration with fellow professional workersin the health sciences is becoming essential for all of us in order tohasten the patient rehabilitation and ease suffering.  \nThe clergyman has become an integral part in the care of thepatient.Modern hospitals have chaplains on their staff.Hospitals ofsufficient size have at least one full time chaplain with primaryresponsibility for that institution.Larger hospitals have additionalchaplains of various faiths.Chaplains work with community clergy-men of all faiths and community agencies to contribute to the careand healing of patients.  \nThe valued historical American position of separation of churchand state is entirely compatible with the presence of chaplains in","cbCaii54RS3xA2dl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii54RS3xA2dl","pdf",3038976,"English","# Introduction\n## Why Dialogue?\n## The Problem\n## Chapter One: Organizing for
