More about the book
The book explores the intersection of utilitarian and Kantian ethics, demonstrating their practical equivalence, particularly in medical ethics. A key thesis posits that preventing potential lives from becoming actual lives can constitute harm, challenging conventional views on embryo experimentation and population policy, while supporting a liberal stance on abortion. It includes introductions to medical and psychiatric ethics, and essays addressing health, child experimentation, healthcare policy, free will, and vegetarianism, making it a comprehensive resource on ethical issues in medicine.
