Focusing on the concept of human dignity, this book explores moral questions surrounding bioethics, emphasizing the distinction between a culture of life and a culture of death. It critiques contemporary bioethical perspectives, particularly those of authors like Peter Singer, while addressing challenges to traditional ethics, especially within the Catholic tradition. The text delves into the dignity of individuals as both agents and patients, and it examines the complex issue of personhood, particularly at the edges of life.
