The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity Presents Bioethics and the Future of Medicine: A Christian AppraisalJohn Frederic Kilner, Nigel M. de S. Cameron, David L. Schiedermayer "The extensive attention devoted to abortion has led Christians for too long to overlook much of the exploding bioethics agenda. Moreover, to focus only on 'issues' is to fail to address the profound changes taking place in the very nature of the medical profession. This book signals the commitment of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity to help expand the church's bioethical vision and to foster a more substantial Christian contribution to the public debate."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
