A booklet published by the Handsel Press, Edinburgh, in 1999. The preface says the essay began as an address to the Scottish Order of Christian Unity in Edinburgh on 21 August 1997; the text printed is the longer and more technical version he gave at the Istituto Scientifico San Raffaele in Milan on 22 May 1998 as "Medicine and the Unborn Child", restored to its original title. It sets out his theological understanding of the unborn child as a person from conception. A companion booklet, The Being and Nature of the Unborn Child, followed in 2000.
