Most discussions of medical and practical ethics have avoided
direct confrontation with the query: what is the value and meaning
of human life? The book addresses these issues directly, examining
the variety of philosophical questions in the area, their
meaningfulness and the paradoxes suggested by answers to those
questions. Each chapter is an attempt to identify and correct the
biases and confusions in such discussions. Specific areas
considered are: relations to animals; the status of the human
species; utilitarian and non-utilitarian arguments; religious
answers to the question "why is life sacred and worthwhile?"; the
meaning of death; the influence of science.
