Seeing Him, Are We Moved with Compassion
A Scientific and Theological Inquity Into the Moral Status of the Early Human Embryo

Benny Phang, O. Carm
300 pages

In this day and age when human dignity is so blatantly and violently ignored, violated, exploited, abused and destroyed, how can one attempt to promote the dignity of the unborn, un-implanted, recently conceived, human embryo, especially when this human being is termed a pre-embryo? Here Benny Phang cleverly introduces a strictly theological dimension of the creation of the human being in God’s divine image and likeness, and more basically, the New Testament precept of love of neighbor. All humans are fundamentally equal, in so far as, there is no-one more human or less human than anyone else! Phang’s careful reflection and meticulous, wide-ranging research, will render this book an essential study instrument on this very delicate and controversial subject. It furnishes a scientific, theological and bioethical basis for intelligent and meaningful dialogue with all those who, for some reason or another, deny the intrinsic human dignity and concomitant human rights of the early embryo!
