Christians and BioethicsFraser N. Watts An examination of issues in bioethics from the perspective of Christianity. The contemporary world is facing some very difficult ethical issues in regulating the possibilities resulting from bioethical research - cloning, genetic engineering of food, organ transplantation, reproductive medicine and euthanasia. There is a need for informed debate, and for a Christian contribution - yet there are surprisingly few books setting out the issues. This book provides a thorough guide to the subject. |
