Born October 3, 1922, in Toledo, Ohio, McCormick was an expert on biomedical ethics and Catholic moral theology, especially in the areas of reproductive technology, genetics, the right to die, and health care at Catholic hosptials. His writings on these and other subjects gained him an international reputation. McCormick entered the Society of Jesus in 1940 and was ordained in 1953. He received bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from Loyola University Chicago in 1945 and 1953 respectively, and a doctorate in moral theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 1957. McCormick taught moral theology from 1957 to 1973 at West Baden College and the Bellarmine School of Theology at Loyola University Chicago, before being named the Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Christian Ethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University. He remained at the Kennedy Institute until 1986. In 1987, he was named the John A. O'Brien Professor of Christian Ethics at the University of Notre Dame; he remained in this position for the rest of his career. Among his many notable works were the annual "Notes on Moral Theology", published from 1965 to 1984, "The Critical Calling: Moral Dilemmas since Vatican II", "How Brave a New World", and his response to "Veritatis Splendor". Richard A. McCormick, SJ, passed away February 12, 2000.
