It provides indispensable contemporary and historical perspectives for challenging the deceptive justifications facilitating the draconian biomedical practices directed against today's least visible and most vulnerable victims. The book thus contributes a compelling antidote to the corruption of technology, ideology, and terminology with an urgent call for mounting a full-scale physician's crusade against the destruction of human lives before and after birth based upon the "do no harm" and healing imperatives embodied in the Hippocratic Oath's sanctity of life moral core" |
