Abstract
Stem-cell research. Cloning. Genetic engineering. New biotechnology is being discovered so rapidly, our nation is unable to address one ethical debate before another looms overhead. In How to be a Christian in a Brave New World, authors Joni Eareckson Tada and Dr. Nigel Cameron bring focus and clarity to the turbulent debates. With a tumor slowly taking the life of her 5-year-old niece, a series of strokes landing her father in the hospital amid tubes and machines, herself paralyzed since age 17, Joni sought answers to grave questions such as ... why quadriplegics like herself shouldn't kill themselves ... why her family shouldn't "mercifully" cut short her niece's suffering ... what should she do about all the tubes and machines her father suddenly depended on.
