A challenging look at today's most hotly debated issues in bioethics. Within the high-paced, highly controverted field of bioethics, the most hotly debated issues center on sexuality, reproductive technology, and the family. This new volume from the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity provides a thought-provoking appraisal of the ethical dimension of the reproductive revolution from a Christian perspective. Thirty scholars and medical practitioners discuss some of the most pressing topics related to human reproduction, including: the moral status of embryos; the use of donor eggs and sperm; surrogate motherhood and human cloning; the abortifacient effect of birth control pills.
John F. Kilner holds the endowed Forman Chair of Christian Ethics and Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and serves as the director of bioethics degree programs at Trinity International University, Deerfield, Illinois. W. David Hager is a physician at Central Baptist Hospital and the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
CBA Marketplace "As medical science invents new ways to produce and manipulate human life--cloning, surrogate motherhood, embryo freezing--ethical questions become increasingly complicated. This book's 30 contributors urge readers to wrestle with issues, to ground their ideas in a biblical framework, and to understand the staggering implications of scientific developments. . . Recommend this excellent book on sexuality and reproductive technologies." Religious Studies Review "This volume adds the often overlooked Christian perspective on these issues. The diversity of perspectives and opinions, each grounded in a Christian framework, highlight why sex and reproduction will continue to challenge both the Christian community and society as a whole. This easy-to-read volume presents a good introduction to these issues for the lay reader, but the thoughtful analysis and range of perspectives will also interest healthcare providers and scholars interested in reproductive ethics." Provident Book Finder "This is a must-read for Christian practitioners in reproductive medicine. It will also provide insight for others interested in Christian ethics concerning human sexuality."
