This discussion centres on the moral status of the human embryo and was produced by a group from King's College, London, which comprised three medical practitioners, a research scientist engaged in experimental biology, a philosopher and three theologians working on moral questions. The religious traditions represented were Jewish, Anglican and Roman Catholic. The medical and scientific members were drawn from the three religious communities. The work is intended to contain no more than reflections, shared in conversation, on a problem as seen in the light of personal disciplines and traditions. The group has also produced another book entitled "Consent in Medicine - Convergence and Divergence in Tradition" (King Edward's Hospital Fund for London, 1986).
