  Acknowledges that it is impossible not to take into account the theological view of human life, but the challenge is how to present the religious perspective to non-religious people. This work shows that the two positions - the theological and the philosophical - aren't as far apart as they may seem.

  Weaves a tapestry of evidence to conclude that the Jewish understanding of the human being as sacred, as the image of God, is in fact compatible with philosophical claims about the rights of the human person - especially the right to life - and can be made intelligible to secular culture.
