Profoundly important ethical and political controversies turn on
the question of whether biological life is an essential aspect of a
human person, or only an extrinsic instrument. Lee and George argue
that human beings are physical, animal organisms - albeit
essentially rational and free - and examine the implications of
this understanding of human beings for some of the most
controversial issues in contemporary ethics and politics. The
authors argue that human beings are animal organisms and that their
personal identity across time consists in the persistence of the
animal organisms they are; they also argue that human beings are
essentially rational and free and that there is a radical
difference between human beings and other animals; criticize
hedonism and hedonistic drug-taking; present detailed defenses of
the prolife positions on abortion and euthanasia; and defend the
traditional moral position on marriage and sexual acts.
