The Ethics of Embryo Adoption and the Catholic Tradition
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4020-6210-0 (ISBN)
The book’s strength is its careful consideration, from a variety of perspectives within the Catholic tradition, of the practice of embryo adoption. It approaches the question in an open and reasonable way by allowing proponents of diverse positions within the tradition. This method both sheds a great deal of light on the particular question and at the same time introduces the reader to the relevant general principles that guide Catholic moral thought.
