Summary:
The book presents a critique of contemporary secular views on issues like abortion, euthanasia, sexual orientation, and gender identity, arguing that they are rooted in a dualistic worldview that devalues the body. It advocates for a holistic, person-centered approach that respects the significance of the physical body in moral and ethical decision-making.
Key points:
1. Body-Person Dualism: Pearcey critiques the separation of body and person, often used to justify lifestyles like transgenderism or homosexuality, as it devalues the body and human dignity.
