• W1199150823 abstract "FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: ETHICS AND THE BEGINNINGS OF HUMAN LIFE. Megan Best, Kingston, Australia: Matthias Media, 2012, Pp. 526. Reviewed by Stephen Greggo (Trinity Evangeliccal Divinity School, Deerfield, IL).Fearfully and Wonderfully Made is a comprehensive text by a medical doctor and bioethicist. Its aim is to inform followers of the Christian faith on current medical, biblical, theological, and ethical perspectives regarding the anay of health care options that impact the beginning of life.A counselor's office may be the very place where important bioethical decisions are made. Contemporary health care is a consumer-oriented industry. Patients are customers with rights, choices, and spending power. It is those on the receiving end of care, not medical specialists or ethics committees, who bear the weight of making critical decisions. Physicians and health care personnel will be painstakingly careful to explain the benefits of medical technology while outlining adverse risks. Potential issues related to personal and religious concerns may surface. Any analysis of treatment choices from the vantage point of one's faith tradition as these inform internal values are referred elsewhere. Given these trends, who will host intensive dis- cussion surrounding the moral status of the embryo, assisted reproductive procedures, use of a Plan B contraceptive, or grief over a miscarriage? Such discussion may become commonplace in the realm of pastoral and mental health counseling. For those already invested in a Christian view of psychological research and clinical services, it is prudent to stay abreast of the ethical concerns raised by emerging and existing reproductive technology.When it comes to the application of medical technology to manage reproduction, there are ever-increasing options available to patients. Christians with extensive expertise in bioethics and theology caution that while these procedures may be legal, medically feasible, and readily available, it is essential to pause to con- sider what is morally permissible according to Christian ethics. The Lord God may have a perspective. Dr. Best leads off this work by raising questions such as: it ever right to have an abortion? What about the case of a young girl who has been raped? Or what if the baby has something seriously wrong with it and we know it can't survive? What about the right to have a child? When we 'create' test-tube babies, are we saying we know better than God who should be a parent? Is IVF ever okay for Christians (Best, 2012, p.ll)? The work proceeds to offer information to explain and demystify medical terminology, raise awareness of church/theological tradition, and decipher language to describe procedures that have an embedded ethical spin.There is nothing simplistic about this subject, nor the book itself. This reviewer did discern three core values evident throughout the numerous topical discussions:1 ) Human life begins at conception.2 ) Scripture calls Christ-followers to protect vulnerable, marginalized, and neglected human beings, even those who are difficult to see with the unaided human eye.3) Children are a gift from God, and we are to nurture them in the time they are with us (Best, 2012, p. 67).The first five chapters are dedicated to conceptual matters. These lay a foundation regarding the basic biology, historical and ongoing controversies over the moral status of the embryo, defining the essentials of human relationships, and an organization rubric to categorize ethical systems. The author describes the generic ethical framework in our pluralistic age for making decisions as consequentialism: right and wrong is judged by looking at the outcome. The example offered for illustrative purposes would be evaluating an unplanned pregnancy from the view of its negative effects on the health, career, and general well-being of the pregnant woman. This ethical system seeks to eliminate, when feasible, as many unwanted outcomes as possible. …" @default.
