UMohammad - Medical Ethics

Keeping within the frame of bioethics, I am going to be focusing on ancient and modern abortion practices. I hope to research how abortion was performed, the ethics behind this age old practice and how the opinions of ancient philosophers impact our society today. I am currently reading On Ancient Medicine by Hippocrates and On the Natural Faculties by Galen. Also, another book that I hope to read and was recommended by Sarah is, "Contraception and Abortion in from the Ancient World to the Renaissance" by John Riddle.
