Kaczor explores a broad range of issues addressed in contemporary bioethics, including whether there is a duty of \"procreative beneficence,\" the ethics of ectopic pregnancy, and the possibility of \"rescuing\" human embryos with human wombs or artificial wombs.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Defense of Dignity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ealso treats issues relevant to the end of life, including physician-assisted suicide, provision of food and water to patients in a persistent vegetative state, and how to proceed with organ donation following death. Finally, what are the duties and prerogatives of health care professionals who refuse in conscience to take part in activities that they regard as degrading to human dignity? Should they be forced to do what they consider to be violations of the patient's well being, or does patient autonomy always trump the conscience of a health care professional?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrounded in the Catholic intellectual and moral tradition,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Defense of Dignity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eargues that all human beings from the beginning to the end of their lives should be treated with respect and considers how this belief should be applied in controversial cases.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eA Defense of Dignity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eprovides a skillful, informed, and clear philosophical analysis, from a natural law perspective, of a range of controversial, and sometimes complex, bioethical questions concerning the beginning and end of life. Few authors approach bioethics from a natural law perspective, and few do it as well as Christopher Kaczor. The book should be of interest not only to natural law philosophers and their students, but also to anyone interested in bioethics.\" —\u003cb\u003eJohn Keown, Georgetown University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"Moral questions at the beginning and ending of life and controversies over liberty of conscience are among the most vexing and important issues of our day.
