Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Ethics and the Beginning of Human Life by Megan Best and published by Matthias Media.
Pregnancy and childbirth are among the deepest and most profound of joys. And yet with the rapid development of medical technology over the past 50 years, couples are now faced with many difficult ethical questions:
* What sort of contraception, if any, is appropriate or right?
* What sorts of genetic and other tests are available during pregnancy, and what are the implications of each of them?
* What should we do if we are told that there is something wrong, or possibly wrong, with our unborn child? Is it right to have an abortion in such circumstances?
* How do Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) such as IVF work, and what are the ethical issues involved?
* What is the current state of human embryo research and cloning?
In this exhaustively researched handbook, medical doctor and Christian ethicist Megan Best provides invaluable tools for thinking clearly about the morality of reproductive technology.
