Treated under the broader heading Life and Bodily Integrity (Fifth Commandment) — Slater, Manual of Moral Theology · Bucceroni, Institutions of Moral Theology · Bucceroni, Cases of Conscience · Gury-Ballerini, Compendium of Moral Theology (8th ed., 1884) · Vermeersch, Theologia Moralis · Prümmer, Manuale Theologiae Moralis · Marc, Institutiones Morales · Merkelbach, Pastoral Questions · Merkelbach, Summa Theologiae Moralis · The Roman Catechism · Coppens, Moral Philosophy · 1917 Code of Canon Law — these works do not divide the matter as finely as we do here, so their treatment stands one heading up (ed.)
