- "How should Christians respond to this new [genetics] situation ? How should they conceive and bear children ? How should they choose whether to test the fetus and whether to end the pregnancy ? And can they still see fetal development as a mystery and childbirth as a gift of divine creativity ?" (p. xii) "We believe that the best single hope for our society to avoid wholesale misuse of genetics and to learn the wisdom and restraint commensurate with our powers lies in clergy who are willing and capable to bring the moral and spiritual resources of religious traditions to the context of genetic decision making". (p. xv) "This book is written by a [United Church of Christ] systematic theologian and a practical ethicist". (p. xvi). -- Intro.
