The Image of God, Personhood and the Embryo

Beschreibung

This book examines the most important aspects in which the image of God and the related Christian notion of personhood can be used in the context of theological arguments relating to the moral status of the human embryo. The author combines a thorough knowledge of the science of embryology with a broad knowledge of the theological implications.
