Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Ethics and the Beginning of Human Life

“This is an outstanding resource for concerned Christian laypeople, health professionals, church leaders and students. It is authoritative, up to date, meticulously researched and pastorally sensitive. I strongly recommend this remarkable book. Megan writes honestly and compassionately from her personal experience as an ethicist, palliative-care doctor, Christian speaker and parent.”

“Megan Best has committed a large part of her life to understanding the medical and ethical issues we face in relation to conception, birth, abortion, miscarriage, pregnancy, and reproductive technologies of all kinds. She weaves together the best secular knowledge, ethical, moral and historical writings,medical research, public policy, law, personal experience and biblical wisdom. This incredible synthesis is done with humility and grace, with great compassion and without judgement.”

“At last—a single volume examining beginning-of-life issues that is equally competent in biology, theology, philosophy and pastoral care. This is now the 'must read' book in the field, a necessary resource not only for pastors, ethicists, and laypersons who share her Christian convictions, but also for anyone who wants to participate knowledgeably in current bioethical debates.”
