Human Embryos, Human Beings
A Scientific and Philosophical Approach
About the Authors
Reviews
"Condic and Condic have produced the most rigorous and most thorough philosophical and scientific defense of the reality that the life of a human being begins at conception. Human Embryos, Human Beings is an essential volume for anyone doing work in bioethics."—Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow, The Heritage Foundation
"What is a human embryo? . . . The authors, a philosopher and a biologist, . . .propose how to use ancient and perennial philosophical ideas to make sense of the latest findings in embryology. . . .they raise this entire debate to a new level of sophistication and thoughtfulness."—Richard M. Doerflinger, University of Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture
"Samuel and Maureen Condic, brother and sister, one a philosopher, the other a neurobiologist, have been considering together the status of the embryo for years. Their arguments against those who do not recognize the human embryo as a human being are compelling, and their exposition of their own positions is always clear and precise."—Kevin Flannery, SJ, author of Action and Conduct according to Aristotle (CUA Press)
"A comprehensive defence of the view that the human embryo is a human being. They have elegantly combined Aristotelian metaphysics and scientific observation to make their case in a way which Thomists, in particular, will find compelling."—The New Bioethics
