It summarises the kind of questions which, in the view of EECCS, are posed in this field. It is a first stage of reflection and will be followed up by a more detailed document. Its first addressee is the Council of Europe's Steering Committee on Bioethics in the hope that the paper will contribute positively to the debates leading to the preparation of a draft Protocol to the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine on the protection of the human embryo and foetus."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderMedically assisted procreationConvention on Human Rightsin vitro fertilisationdiscriminationCouncil of EuropeReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsBioethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderMedical ethicsChristian denominationsOrthodox (Eastern, Oriental)AnglicanEvangelicalDogmaticsThe human beingPractical theology and theological educationTraining of church leadersMinisterial and pastoral trainingLay FormationPreprint
