Children, Theology, and Bioethics: Beyond Autonomy is an essential addition to the bioethics literature, offering profound insights for anyone working with children or adults. Through the lens of theological anthropology, Jessica Bratt Carle presents a compelling critique of bioethics' obsession with autonomy, arguing that this narrow focus has led to a diminished understanding of both children and adults who may not conform to idealized standards of independence and decision-making capacity. Bratt Carle advocates for a paradigm shift--one that acknowledges dependence and vulnerability as fundamental human experiences while also taking children's agency seriously. This book is a must-read for anyone engaged in bioethics, pastoral care, or healthcare, and pushes us to a richer understanding of what it means to respect and care for children.
