Brilliant - By: Roxoroxy, 08 Dec 2006
If you are confused about Christian attitudes to bio-ethics read this brilliant book. Clearly & sensitively, with reference to empirical studies & philosophical debate, this book separates the great successes of modern medicine from its excesses.
A simple but insightful paradigm is developed to distinguish the two: human beings, says Wyatt, are liked flawed masterpieces. Rather than treat human beings as lego-kits, medics & scientists should preserve & restore us as an art curator would a masterpiece.
This is the definitive treatise on Christian medical ethics. - By: , 22 Mar 2000
Continuing on from the new insights that Professor Wyatt brought to the Contemporay Christianity series of lectures he has developed his thought to produce an outstanding book. This work is an invaluable resource for doctors or lay people struggling with the issues at the beginning & end of life. It is clear that Dr Wyatt is a commpassionate doctor struggling at the frontline of these problems.
