Resumen:
Do you find it difficult to articulate your stand on hot-button issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research? Take heart! Author Scott Klusendorf first simplifies the debate: the sanctity of life is NOT a morally complex issue. It's NOT about choice, privacy, or scientific progress. To the contrary, the debate turns on one key question: What is the unborn? Klusenberg then shows you how to effectively make a case for the unborn. Discover how to engage others in this biotech debate, answer objections persuasively, and equip pastors and lay people to defend their views.
