From early writings of our oldest religious traditions through recent controversies surrounding the Hobby Lobby case and the ever-divisive question of abortion, questions of reproduction raise some of the most difficult and fascinating issues in bioethics. Whether in the harsh glare of law, policy, and politics, or in the intimacy of the family, decisions around contraception, abortion, procreation, infertility, assisted reproduction, gamete donation, and surrogacy engage both religious and secular perspectives. Much has been written on broader bioethical perspectives on reproductive issues, but it is equally important to understand religious perspectives on these matters, as the news stories frequently remind us.

The Oxford Handbook of Religious Perspectives on Reproductive Ethics is a pioneering, cutting-edge compilation of analysis and reflection on the ethics of reproductive technology, from Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and Islamic perspectives. Topics include ethical analyses of parenthood (including gay parenting), adoption, contraception, abortion, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, gamete donation, and surrogate parenthood. Authors range from the newest scholars to the most senior,
from the most progressive to the most conservative.
