More about the book

The book explores complex societal dilemmas such as abortion, euthanasia, and genetic engineering, highlighting the challenges of making ethical decisions in law and medicine. It argues that the lack of a broader perspective hinders our ability to address these issues effectively. The author critiques the limitations of 18th-century philosophical methods, suggesting that they are inadequate for resolving contemporary bioethical challenges. A call for a new perspective is emphasized as essential for navigating the moral landscape of medical decision-making.
