Protestant Perspectives On The Uses Of The New Reproductive Technologies, Cynthia B. Cohen

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The author examines Protestant teachings on the meaning of procreation, the good of the resulting children and the integrity of family bonds to show that these technologies are generally morally acceptable, but with certain limitations.
