ABSTRACT Dr Halliday Sutherland and Dr Letitia Fairfield are not immediately-recognisable names today, but in mid-twentieth century Britain both these Catholics doctors attained high public profiles as doughty defenders of the Church’s opposition to birth control. Responding to the advent of new contraceptive technologies and modernity’s aspiration to control nature and celebrate married love, these influential medical professionals were representative of the efforts of an educated Catholic laity to dialogue with ‘sexual modernity’ and refashion a Catholic medico-moral code in which the heuristic of ‘the natural’ could be inflected through medical and scientific frameworks.

重新定义“生命法则”：两次世界大战期间英国的天主教医生、自然法和天主教性学的演变

摘要 Halliday Sutherland 博士和 Letitia Fairfield 博士在今天并不是一眼就能认出的名字，但在 20 世纪中期的英国，这两位天主教徒医生作为教会反对节育的强硬捍卫者而获得了很高的公众形象。响应新避孕技术的出现和现代人控制自然和庆祝婚姻爱情的愿望，这些有影响力的医学专业人士代表了受过教育的天主教平信徒与“性现代性”对话并重塑天主教医学道德准则的努力。 “自然”的启发可以通过医学和科学框架来体现。
