Review Quotes:
"Blessed John Paul regularly invoked dignity as a moral compass. Christopher Kaczor . . . does a masterful job in showing how important is this concept, properly understood, to contemporary bioethics. . . . Kaczor argues as a philosopher in the light of reason, not revelation." --National Catholic Register
