Cutting-Edge Bioethics

A Christian Exploration of Technologies and Trends

This new volume 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 noted scholars and medical practitioners discuss some of today's new controversial work in biomedicine -- xenotransplantation, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and more -- and appraise from a Christian perspective both the science and the ethical questions it raises. Designed to orient general readers to the curent state of biomedical research, Cutting-Edge Bioethics is must reading for anyone wishing to confront and wrestle with the challenging moral issues posed by this ever-advancing field. - Back cover.
