A World is Not Made to Last Forever: The Bioethics of C. S. Lewis
” I have chosen to examine the writings of Lewis for bioethical insights, overt or implied. His works are particularly appropriate for such an examination for two reasons. The first is that he wrote a considerable amount of material explaining and defending his world-view. The second is that he wrote ten books of fantastic fiction that are especially valuable for gaining insight into his viewpoint, Some kinds of assumptions and presuppositions are closer to the surface in such fiction.”
