Welcome!

The Concordia Bioethics Institute offers a unique approach to bioethics that equips personal and professional decision making through spiritual guidance, competent teaching, insightful research, and needed resources.

The purpose of the Concordia Bioethics Institute is to serve Jesus Christ and humanity by bringing the power of the Gospel and guidance from God's Law to help people make decisions compatible with the Christian faith on issues in biology and health care. Our vision is to address ethical issues in health care and the life sciences from a distinctively Lutheran perspective and to facilitate Concordia University Wisconsin in accomplishing its Purpose Statement of "exerting a Christian influence on the community, nation, and world" by becoming an important Protestant bioethics teaching, service, and research center.
