About this listen

In the face of continuing advances in medical research and treatment, bioethical questions remain at the heart of many of our society’s difficult moral problems. Since its original publication in 1996, Gilbert Meilaender’s Bioethics has proven itself an effective introduction into this arena, providing thoughtful guidance on today’s most relevant issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction, genetic research, euthanasia, human experimentation, and much more.

In this fourth edition, Meilaender updates much of the data referenced in the book and responds directly to recent developments, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 method of gene editing. Christians seeking discernment in this new decade will appreciate Meilaender’s circumspect writing and his ability to address the nuances of each issue, while maintaining strong and clearly stated moral convictions.

I am a non-religious medical student doing a project on Christian medical ethics.

I found this book useful in informing me about some of the key areas where Christians might not agree with modern medical practice.

The author makes for a compelling reasonable argument that relies on the principles that he sets at the start, not just on scripture throughout.

Overall many good interesting points that I will definitely think about even if I might not necessarily agree with all the points made.

The narration was also very good.

Interesting book, well narrated, well structured
