Begotten or Made?

This thought-provoking volume by eminent ethicist Oliver O’Donovan, originally published in 1984 and now reissued with a new introduction and retrospective, explores contemporary confusion over human nature and the ethical boundaries of medical science. It critically examines the assumptions behind emerging technologies that seek to manipulate human life and offers philosophical clarity for Christians facing complex moral questions. The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing moral norms in a society increasingly driven by scientific intervention.
