"Nature and Mortality is a look at some of the major public issues of our time through the eyes of one of our most influential and probing writers." "Mary Warnock, a professional philosopher, gives a frank account on where we stand today on such disturbing matters as human embryology, genetic engineering, euthanasia and abortion. Governments of both parties have long regarded Warnock as an expert on a wide range of issues on the border between ethics and law and she is considered an ideal person to guide and assist other experts."--Jacket.
