I'm not sure who the target audience of the book is. In the beginning chapter the author said the target audience is pro-choice people who do not see the fetus as human life. But the rest of the book focus on what the Bible teaches about whether the fetus is human life, and I'm having a hard time seeing pro-choice readers interested in consulting the Bible as a source of authority. I felt the rest of the book was written to someone who is already pro-life. The appendix of the book, which was a transcript of a court testimony of French geneticist Jerome Lejeune on the DNA information in a zygote, presented who I saw as far more convincing and interesting information on whether the zygote qualifies as human life. Highly recommend the appendix over the book. ( )

I like Dr. Sproul's approach in this book. Looking at the issue of abortion rationally and logically, it removes and even examines some of the pro-abortion media support. I have this book as a reference for discussion on my Blogs and Facebook. Thank you Dr. Sproulfor a great resource ( )
