This book explores the Buddhist view of death and its implications
for contemporary bioethics. Writing primarily from within the
Tibetan tradition, author Karma Lekshe Tsomo discusses Buddhist
notions of human consciousness and personal identity and how these
figure in the Buddhist view of death. Beliefs about death and
enlightenment and states between life and death are also discussed.
Tsomo goes on to examine such hot-button topics as cloning,
abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, organ donation, genetic
engineering, and stem-cell research within a Buddhist context,
introducing new ways of thinking about these highly controversial
issues.
