This collection of essays, commissioned by the President's Council
on Bioethics, explores a fundamental concept crucial to today's
discourse in law and ethics in general and in bioethics in
particular. Since its formation in 2001, the council has frequently
used the term "human dignity" in its discussions and reports. In
this volume scholars from the fields of philosophy, medicine and
medical ethics, law, political science, and public policy address
the issue of what the concept of "human dignity" entails and its
proper role in bioethical controversies. Human Dignity and
Bioethics is an attempt to clarify a controversial concept, one
that is a critical component in the decisions of policymakers.
