For nearly two decades Gilbert Meilaender’s Bioethics has offered discerning Christian guidance on a wide range of pressing issues in medical ethics. Now in its third edition, Meilaender’s Bioethics covers abortion, assisted reproduction, genetic research, suicide and euthanasia, human experimentation — and much more — in language that is theologically informed, straightforward, and clear. This new edition includes updated information throughout and an added discussion of the need to protect Christian conscience in the practice of medicine." -- From Amazon ER -
