Is the Embryo Sacrosanct? Multi-Faith Perspectives

July 29, 2008

Representatives of different faiths frequently intervene in debates around fertility and assisted reproduction, with religious perspectives cited in recent months both in support of and in opposition to the UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology (HFE) Bill. But religious attitudes towards the human embryo are not always well understood, and can be counterintuitive. This is particularly true when views of the embryo differ not only between the world’s major religions, but also according to different denominations and traditions within each religion.  (Conference Website)
