This book presents a number of areas of the current debate in medicine. It tackles general questions of the nature of moral action and decision-making in healthcare practice: the right to life, abortion, euthanasia, therapeutic abortion, organ transplants, in vitro fertilization, and contraception human experiments. The author writes briefly on the patient's right to dignified humane treatment and spiritual care, and his right to privacy as safeguarded by professional secrecy, medical secrets, and the computer.

This primer provides an unequivocal outline of Christian moral wisdom, written with simplicity and sincerity for both Christians and non-Christians alike, for the medical practitioner and the ordinary man on the street. It helps them decide and contribute to the divine economy of salvation. As the medical profession is endowed with the richness of medical ethics, this book will help facilitate that understanding.
