Description

Medical technology is one of the most powerful forces in the modern world. Gareth Jones writes not only as a scientist and bioethicist but also as a Christian. His aim is to make sense of some of the myriad issues encountered in a world dominated by medical technology and explore ways in which we can live in hope rather than fear.
