- "[By] Anthony Dyson".
- Series editor: Canon Stephen Platten.
- Includes bibliographical endnotes and index.
- The author "includes much human reflection from those who have been involved in the process of in-vitro fertilization. He quotes from donors, mothers, doctors and those involved in framing the law. Throughout there is an emphasis on the human and the personal in an area which all too easily can become the reserve of scientists and technicians alone. Professor Dyson, in developing an ethics rooted in respect for persons and responsibility, does not allow individual and social morality to be treated in isolation. Human beings are by nature social and therefore these two aspects of ethics are seen to be part of one integrated whole. In exploring this particular topic we are offered a model for Christian reflection upon ethical dilemmas within the context of an increasingly scientifically dominated society". -- Editor's foreword.
