This volume is a good introduction to the topic, but also offers rich, and complex ideas for more advanced readers." —The Quarterly Review of Biology"The anthology Human Dignity and Bioethics presents a collection of papers originally published by the US-American Presidents Council on Bioethics in response to questions about the Councils use of the term human dignity. It provides an extremely helpful and illuminating survey of different understandings of human dignity and their consequences for bioethics. It also illustrates the diversity of interpretations that may very well contradict each other and come to different consequences in dealing with bioethical issues . . . the greatest use of the volume lies in its compilation of different approaches and concepts regarding human dignity." —Studies in Christian Ethics Review Quote "This volume by leading philosophers, theologians, and political scientists was commissioned by the Presidents Council on Bioethics.
