For the Love of Children: Genetic Technology and the Future of the Family Paperback - 1996
by Ted Peters
Ted Peters sets out the challenges of new technologies--artificial insemination, invitro fertilization, selective abortion, etc.--with clarity and precision. He looks anew at Christian theology and proposes an ethic "for the love of children". Peters contends that only by affirming all children and their claims upon parents will society deal constructively and ethically with the many reproductive choices available now and in the future.
From the rear cover
Choices in reproductive technology have multiplied at a staggering rate. Is our society prepared to decided on issues about procreation such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, or genetic engineering such as "designer children", or selective abortion? How can we protect children - both born and unborn - who are conceived in these ways from being regarded as merchandise in the expanding marketplace of genetic services? Ted Peters sets out the challenges of these new technologies with clarity and precision. He looks anew at Christian theology and proposes an ethic "for the love of children". Peters contends that only by affirming all children and their claims upon parents will society deal constructively and ethically with the many reproductive choices available now and in the future.
