Sutton, Agneta2019-09-252019-09-252015-10-121993http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/228246On the face of it developments in medicine designed to help people overcome distressing problems of infertility look as if they are entirely well-intentioned. But good ends need to be secured by good means — by means which respect human dignity and are themselves consistent with human well-being. In this short book Agneta Sutton offers help to all those, and especially Catholics, who confront problems of infertility and who are anxious to find forms of medical assistance which both respect their dignity as potential parents and respect the dignity of the child they hope for. The book provides a clear picture of the kinds of technical assistance in achieving conception which are on offer nowadays and the recognised medical risks of those techniques. But more importantly the book provides the guidance people need to determine which techniques are morally acceptable and which techniques are not.engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercatholic churchmedical ethicsinfertilityassisted conceptionmedical techniquesReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsBioethicsMedical ethicsChristian denominationsRoman CatholicBiblical TheologyBible (texts, commentaries)Old TestamentDogmaticsThe human beingPreprint
