5.0 out of 5 stars A Much Needed Book, May 30, 2000
This review is from: Playing God: Dissecting Biomedical Ethics and Manipulating the Body (Paperback)
Biomedical ethics...Where are the Christians? This book addresses many important questions that have confronted Church lately. As a short, quick read, it isn't designed to comprehensively handle all the issues, but it really made me step back and think about things.

I found the book to be extremely helpful on issues like: euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, fetal tissue research, genetic engineering (eugenics), the manipulation of human embryos, cloning and others.

Christians should really read this book to at least begin to develop and understanding of the real, scriptural issues involved.

MUST READ!

You'll be done with it in a couple of hours, but it will change your thinking for a lifetime.
