Sobre IBD

Conjoined twins dilemma...Suicide of terminally ill patient...Designer baby transplant success...Woman gives birth at sixty-six...Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do - or ought not to do - impinges on our personal lives, families and societies.John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible’s view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today’s challenges and opportunities
