The answers we give will shape our laws, our culture, and our very way of life. The rapid development of medical technology and new treatments has left us struggling to keep pace with the ethical, social, legal, and religious implications. As a result, we face difficult questions: Is abortion ever justifiable? Should doctors help patients end their lives? Can we allow impaired children to die? Should we use genetic therapy to enhance the human race, or clone humans? Our answers will shape our laws, culture, and way of life, revealing who we are and the world we want for ourselves and our children.
