W ithin the high-paced, highly controverted field of bioethics, the most hotly debated issues center on sexuality, reproductive technology, and the family. This new volume from the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity provides a thought-provoking appraisal of the ethical dimension of the reproductive revolution from a Christian perspective. Thirty scholars and med- ical practitioners discuss some of the most pressing top- ics related to human reproduction, including the moral status of embryos, the use of donor eggs and sperm, sur- rogate motherhood and human cloning, and whether or not the birth control pill causes abortions.

"This book offers a needed challenge to the secular cast of most contemporary bioethics texts dealing with the 'sexual revolution.' Clear, unapologetic, and cogent, it articulates the Christian perspective over a wide range of crucial issues, from infertility and reproductive technolo- gies to cloning and sexuality. The theology is sound and balanced. The science is up to date. Whatever one's belief commitment, one is obligated to ponder these alterna- tives to the way sexual morality is so often addressed in contemporary bioethics."
