The Reproduction Revolution - A Christian Appraisal of Sexuality, Reproductive Technologies, and the Family

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.
