Bioethics is Love of Life

This is an exciting second edition of the revolutionary Bioethics textbook. The love of life is all around us, and flowing in our veins.   “Love of life” is the simplest and most all encompassing definition of bioethics, and it is universal among all peoples of the world. Love is the biological heritage given to us by our genes, the capacity that evolved in us to allow us to overcome selfishness that destroys harmony within a community.  Our social heritage also gives us love, as the society tries to pursue harmony between individuals and communities.  The eight chapters explore theories of medical ethics and bioethics, environmental ethics, animal protection, justice and autonomy. The author served as UNESCO Regional Adviser for Asia and the Pacific for a decade, and has taught bioethics for 3 decades, all around the world. The book presents a cross-cultural approach to bioethics challenging other textbooks of bioethics. . ISBN 978-0-908897-27-8
