This book offers a unique and comprehensive outline of the ethos,
the bioethics and the sexual ethics of the renowned anatomist and
founder of modern geology, Niels Stensen (1638-1686). It tells the
story of a student who is forced to defend himself against his
professor who tries to plagiarize his first discovery, the "Ductus
Stenonis": the first performance test for the young researcher. The
focal points are questions of bioethics, especially with regard to
human reproduction, sexual ethics, the beginning of life and the
ensoulment of the embryo, together with frontiers of pastoral care.
The book delineates Stensen's ethos as well as its medico-ethical
and theological implications and reception by researchers and
physicians from the 17th century until today, and asks about his
lasting significance. Despite dating back more than 300 years,
Stensen's character and his work offer up surprisingly topical
answers to current questions on the nature of professional ethics
in medical science and practice. Furthermore, "Ethos, Bioethics,
and Sexual Ethics in Work and Reception of the Anatomist Niels
Stensen (1638-1686): Circulation of Love" is the first academic
book on bioethics and sexual ethics with a foreword by the Prefect
of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. A fascinating
book for bioethicists, physicians, members of health professions,
scientists, and theologians.
