| Publisher Description: This book covers the various ethical concepts, theories, and frameworks that govern and inform debates related to sanctity of life issues. This book explains each pertinent ethical concept or theory, and points the reader to which concepts or theories best lead to the protection and preserving of human life. This book makes the argument for the pro-life position, which asserts that it is always best and right to seek to preserve human life, whenever possible. "Always Choose Life" covers the philosophical, ethical, and theological arguments that inform the contemporary debates related to the sanctity of human life. This book is clear and concise. It is primarily focused on the topic of abortion and the key ethical concepts and theories that should govern how we form our opinions about abortion. This book also covers embryonic stem cell research, eugenics, end-of-life issues, self-defense, and just war theory. In all these debates, we ought to always be pro-life; that is, we ought to seek to preserve human life whenever possible. In this book, Ortiz boldly exhorts the readers to use sound ethical theory, sound doctrine, and sound logic as the foundation for their opinions. "Always Choose Life" is gracious and non-combative, while simultaneously being bold and direct. The first several chapters are quite technical, however as the book continues it becomes far more conversational. For those individuals who are already in the pro-life camp, this book should be a resource to them as they seek to defend the pro-life position. For any person who is on the fence amid these types of debates, this book will challenge them to think (or re-think) through the key elements of these types of debates. |
