With the advance of biomedicine, certain individuals and groups are
vulnerable because of their incapacities to defend
themselves. The International Bioethics Committee as a UNESCO
working group has for the last several years dedicated to deepen
this principle of human vulnerability and personal integrity.
This book serves to supplement this effort with a
religious perspective given a great number of the world’s
population is affiliated with some religious
traditions. While there is diversity within each of
these traditions, all of them carry in them the mission to protect
the weak, the underprivileged, and the poor. Thus, here presented
is a collection of papers written by bioethics experts from
six major world religions—Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism,
Hinduism, Islam and Judaism—who were gathered to discuss the
meaning and implications of the principle of vulnerability in
their respective traditions. Â Â Â Â
