From the Publisher
"The Prenatal Person is a welcome contribution to dialogue between adherents of Christian and secular approaches to controversial bioethical issues about the beginning of human life. It is refreshing to find a Catholic scholar addressing these issues in a way that does not rely heavily on religious teachings that only a Catholic could be expected to accept. This is a book I will recommend to my students, so that they can consider a reasoned approach that is very different to my own." Peter Singer, Princeton University
