Precious Unborn Human Persons (Audio DAISY Book)

By: Gregory Koukl
Type: Non-fiction
Subject categories: Apologetics, Ethics and Morality
Read by: Volunteer Narrator
Approximate time: 2 hours 45 minutes
Catalog number: 1445
In this brief booklet and a series of related articles gathered at the end of the book, well-known apologist and theologian Gregory Koukl explores and refutes some of the most common arguments presented to justify abortion. He asserts that none of these popular arguments carry any moral weight in light of one fundamental truth: babies become living human persons at conception. The question is not about a woman's right to choose what happens to her body, he argues, because her body is attached to the body of another equally valuable human being. Neither should perceived disability, quality of the child's life, or economic concerns factor into a decision to end life, if that life is truly human. This would be an excellent book for those interested in Christian ethics. While the subject matter is a bit sensitive by nature, it is presented very tastefully without graphic detail.
