Each part of the book is introduced by a person with clinical/scientific experience who gives basic information about the subjects addressed: reproductive technology that creates "test tube babies", cloning, and abortion. Each chapter begins with an overview of that chapter's particular question, followed by two responses by persons who have differing views on the particular question that is addressed. Each part concludes with questions for thought or discussion.
