This book brings together the debate concerning personal identity
(in metaphysics) and central topics in biomedical ethics
(conception of birth and death; autonomy, living wills and
paternalism). Based on a metaphysical account of personal identity
in the sense of persistence and conditions for human beings,
conceptions for beginning of life, and death are developed. Based
on a biographical account of personality, normative questions
concerning autonomy, euthanasia, living wills and medical
paternalism are dealt with. By these means the book shows that
"personal identity" has different meanings which have to be
distinguished so that human persistence and personality can be used
to deal with central questions in biomedical ethics.
