About this work

Description

"In Outside the Womb, medical ethicist Scott B. Rae and physician D. Joy Riley explain each of today's commonly used reproductive technologies, from in-vitro fertilization to various forms of surrogacy. Drawing on the rich Christian tradition of reflection on family and reproduction, they explore potential ethical issues involved in each procedure. The authors don't rule out options; instead, they equip readers to make their own wise and informed choices. Calm, compassionate, and knowledgeable, Rae and Riley have provided the kind of guidebook that every infertile couple needs as they consider what is best for them--and for their future family." -- Back cover
