This book approaches bioethics on the basis of a conception of life
and what is needed for the affirmation of its quality in the most
encompassing sense. Lawrence E. Johnson applies this conception to
discussions of controversial issues in bioethics including
euthanasia, abortion, cloning, and genetic engineering. His
emphasis is not on providing definitive solutions to all bioethical
issues but on developing an approach to coping with them that can
also help us deal with new issues as they emerge. The foundation of
this discussion is an extensive examination of the nature of the
self and its good and of various approaches to ethics. His bioethic
is integrally related to his well-known work on environmental
philosophy. The book also applies these principles on an individual
level, offering a user-friendly discussion of how to deal with
ethical slippery slopes and how and where to draw the line when
dealing with difficult questions of bioethics.
