Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news and what medical science can do and what it ought to do - or ought not do - impinges on our personal lives, our families and our society. In this book, John Wyatt examines 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, lay people and churches can respond to the challenges and opportunities that confront us.
