TY - JOUR T1 - The human embryo in the Christian tradition: a reconsideration JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 710 LP - 714 DO - 10.1136/jme.2004.011593 VL - 31 IS - 12 AU - D A Jones Y1 - 2005/12/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/31/12/710.abstract N2 - Recent claims that the Christian tradition justifies destructive research on human embryos have drawn upon an article by the late Professor Gordon Dunstan which appeared in this journal in 1984. Despite its undoubted influence, this article was flawed and seriously misrepresented the tradition of Christian reflection on the moral status of the human embryo. ER -
