Condic and Condic have produced the most rigorous and most thorough philosophical and scientific defense of the reality that the life of a human being begins at conception. Human Embryos, Human Beings is an essential volume for anyone doing work in bioethics. --Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow, The Heritage Foundation What is a human embryo? . . . The authors, a philosopher and a biologist, . . .propose how to use ancient and perennial philosophical ideas to make sense of the latest findings in embryology. . . .they raise this entire debate to a new level of sophistication and thoughtfulness. --Richard M. Doerflinger, University of Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture Samuel and Maureen Condic, brother and sister, one a philosopher, the other a neurobiologist, have been considering together the status of the embryo for years. Their arguments against those who do not recognize the human embryo as a human being are compelling, and their exposition of their own positions is always clear and precise. --Kevin Flannery, SJ, author of Action and Conduct according to Aristotle (CUA Press)
