Sinossi

Bioethical issues are rarely out of view in Western societies. New developments in areas such as human embryology continually raise new ethical questions, while more familiar issues frequently reappear in public debate. These are issues of central concern for Christians and for a wider public, because they raise questions about the value of life, the meaning of suffering and death and humanity's place in the natural world.

Product Description

Bioethical issues are rarely out of view in Western societies. New developments in areas such as human embryology continually raise new ethical questions, while more familiar issues frequently reappear in public debate. These are issues of central concern for Christians and for a wider public, because they raise questions about the value of life, the meaning of suffering and death and humanity's place in the natural world.In Respecting Life Neil Messer, a leading author on theology and bioethics who has also worked in biomedical research, develops a Reformed Protestant theological approach to bioethics and argues that this approach allows a critical and constructive engagement with public debates beyond the walls of the churches. He offers theological treatments of a range of bioethical issues, including:assisted dying, healthcare rationing, human cloning, stem cell research,and human-animal hybrid embryos.
