内容説明
'...a timely, well-considered and thoughtful analysis of what should be taken as the mainstream Buddhist position on a range of moral issues...a ground-breaking work...' Peter Harvey, Journal of Indian and Tibetan Studies Buddhism & Bioethics discusses contemporary issues in medical ethics from a Buddhist perspective. The issues examined include abortion, embryo research, fertility control, the definition of death, the persistent vegetative state, and euthanasia. Drawing on ancient and modern sources, the book shows how Buddhist ethical principles can be applied consistently to a range of bioethical problems. It is suggested that moral judgements can be objective and that there can be a 'Buddhist view' on ethical issues.
