Abstract
There has been much controversy regarding how to think about the moral status of the very early human embryo. Islam and Catholicism have robust histories of moral reflection on this topic which lend themselves to a dialogue involving mutually-critical correlation.This article argues that insights from such a dialogue can help us move forward in the debate in substantive ways.
