When Christians Say, "I Believe Life Starts at Conception"

Life is a narrative built on history and rooted in guiding authorities—it’s a story. In 1968 doctors at Harvard Medical School took the first step to redefine death, not based on the biological facts of life, but on a narrative that would permit the harvesting of organs from people in a coma with objective signs of life. In 1981 the new story was codified as federal law in the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). Christians who believe life starts at conception are often unaware of how the modern account of death undermines their pro-life convictions and the Creator's story revealed in the Old and New Testaments.

“With his background in nursing and theology and his experience as an author, Christopher W. Bogosh has a unique ability to explain the Christian view of life, death, and medical care. His prescription addresses the needs of our bodies and the questions of our souls.” -Heidi Klessig, MD, retired anesthesiologist and pain management specialist
