Cutting Edge Bioethics: A Christian Exploration of Technologies and Trends
John F Kilner~ C. Christopher Hook, and Diann B. Uustal (editors)
This NEW BOOK from The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity provides a faith-based evaluation of recent technologies and trends in bioethics—including the current debate surrounding stem cell research.
Fifteen notable scholars and medical practitioners discuss some of today’s newest and most controversial research in the field of biotechnology—xeno-transplantation, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and more—and evaluate from a Christian perspective both the science and the ethical questions such issues raise. Designed to orient readers to the current state of biomedical research, Cutting-Edge Bioethics is a must-read for anyone wishing to learn more about the challenging moral dilemmas posed by this ever-advancing field.
