Anotacija:

     This book offers critical yet constructive analyses of the major bioethical issues of personhood in thirteen chapters written by philosophers, ethicists, theologians, and healthcare specialists from East Asia, Europe, and North America. They extend their search for answers beyond the confines of traditional Western thought and tap the rich intellectual resources of Confucianism.
     STUDIES IN APPLIED ETHICS (SAE) draws on the ethical resources of Western as well as Eastern traditions of thought to publish books that bring moral theory and vision to bear on the pressing issues of contemporary life.
