The Prenatal Person: Ethics from Conception to Birth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fr. Ford goes into great detail to provide justifications for an extremely conservative view of bioethiics in this book.

He leaves out any reference to moderate Catholic Theologians who have discussed these issues in a more investigative mind set.

His is not a book of discovery and dialogue, but one of supporting an extremely conservative point of view.

I was very disappointed with this book, especially since the Editorial Review presents the book as "open minded".
