Embryo: A Defense of Human Life by Robert George 

The bitter national debate over the uses of human embryos for scientific research and medical treatments has raised one question, from which all the other questions stem: Are all human embryos human persons worthy of full moral respect? In Embryo: A Defense of Human Life, Robert P. George answers that question with a resounding “Yes.”

Deliberately avoiding religious arguments, Professor George makes a scientific and philosophical case that the fetus is a human being from conception onward, with all the moral and political rights inherent in that status — and that, as such, any research that destroys a viable embryo represents the unacceptable taking of a human life.
