Conjoined twins dilemma…
Suicide of terminally ill patient…
Designer baby transplant success…
Woman gives birth at sixty-six…
Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do — or ought not to do — impinges on our personal lives, families and societies.
John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible’s view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today’s challenges and opportunities
