In My Mother's Womb

by Donald DeMarco

Part I focuses on abortion and its relation to compassion, the use of language, Church teaching, contraception, the family and bio-engineering -- Part II looks at other bioethical issues, bringing us up to date with treatments of bioethics and theology, genetic engineering, in vitro-fertilization, fetal experimentation, sex-preselection and surrogate motherhood. Concludes with a moving critique of technologized parenthood.
