Description: In this book, Ramsey addresses the moral problems of medicine, life and death and not merely to those who share his faith. Ramsey sets out with both clarity and and in detail the moral suppositions and implications of recent judgments by the courts, and especially by the Supreme Court, on abortion. A product of a lifetime of deep concern and keen thinking about the ethical, medical and legal-policy aspects of the "edges of life."
