The advances of medical technology bring with them a host of new and sometimes perplexing ethical issues. Frame analyzes a wide range of biblical principles as they apply to the intricate problems and personal considerations with which patients, their families, and health practitioners must wrestle. In so doing he sheds much needed light on how to obey God in the midst of complex medical-ethical decisions. In addition, a lengthy appendix on the abortion issue presents what may well be the most carefully argued case from Scripture in defense of the unborn. (Publisher)
