Commentary: The Cost of Converting Religious Morals Into Politics

J. Richard Ciccone, MD and Colleen Clements, PhD

Dr. Ciccone is Professor of Psychiatry and Director, Psychiatry and Law Program, and Dr. Clements is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry (Bioethics), University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York. Address correspondence to: J. Richard Ciccone, MD, 70 Edgemoor Road, Rochester, NY 14618. E-mail: jrichard_ciccone{at}urmc.rochester.edu

Theologically informed positions are grounded in core beliefs and may be rationally discussed. We analyze Dr. Norko's suggestion on how, in the public square, to address moral disagreements. We point out the dangers of "deliberative democracy" as an approach to resolving conflicts over basic values. We suggest an alternative approach, better grounded in reason, as a way of bringing religious and secular views into a discussion of the death penalty.
