Abstract

The philosophical and ethical foundation of NaProTECHNOLOGY is examined through the lens of a "new humanism" that affirms the dignity of women, couples, and the unborn by working within — rather than against — natural reproductive processes. Hilgers and contributing author Sr. Renee Mirkes situate NaProTECHNOLOGY within a broader critique of technologized reproductive medicine and articulate a coherent framework for procreative ethics applicable to clinical practice.

Topics
