Description: Ted Peters sets out the challenges of new technologies--artificial insemination, invitro fertilization, selective abortion, etc.--with clarity and precision. He looks anew at Christian theology and proposes an ethic "for the love of children". Peters contends that only by affirming all children and their claims upon parents will society deal constructively and ethically with the many reproductive choices available now and in the future.
