Recensioner i media

"The Prenatal Person is a welcome contribution to dialogue between adherents of Christian and secular approaches to controversial bioethical issues about the beginning of human life. It is refreshing to find a Catholic scholar addressing these issues in a way that does not rely heavily on religious teachings that only a Catholic could be expected to accept. This is a book I will recommend to my students, so that they can consider a reasoned approach that is very different to my own." Peter Singer, Princeton University "...there are many useful insights and The Prenatal Person is helped by attention to detail in medical matters." The Tablet
