Descriere
Can killing an embryo for genetic reasons be justified? How long should we prolong the lives of people in vegetative states? Does a person who is clinically brain dead still have legal rights? In this 1995 Australian National Book Award winner, philosopher Peter Singer explores these and other questions in a major reexamination of the meaning of life and death--under the spotlight of 21st-century technology.
Recenzii
