Description
New developments in reproductive technology have made headlines since the birth of the world's first in vitro fertilization baby in 1978. This book explores the ethical implications of embryo experimentation, examining the moral status of the early human embryo and how a democratic society should address this contentious issue. The authors consider conflicting views on the subject, which are rooted in differing religious and philosophical positions. They provide an original contribution to the debate, making this book a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of this issue. Peter Singer is a prominent author who has written extensively on ethics and philosophy, including Practical Ethics and Should the Baby Live?.
