Deacon Gregory Webster, PhD, D.Bioethics
SWAG视频 Me
My interest in bioethics stems from dealing with the death of my parents. I realized that if I had questions during this process, others in the pew might have them as well. What began simply as a certificate in Catholic bioethics ended up as a Doctorate degree several years later. I am interested in the ministerial aspects of Catholic bioethics that help inform consciences of those facing difficult life decisions. As a research chemist in the pharmaceutical industry for thirty years, I am also interested in research bioethics as it applies to pharmaceutical development.
Why I鈥檓 At MaryThe University of Mary proudly and joyfully teaches bioethics within the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church. Teaching within the realm of Ex Corde Ecclesiae gives students and instructors at the University of Mary the freedom to have honest discussion on difficult life subjects - particularly in bioethics. Such discussions prepare our students to bring these discussions forward after graduation.
