This book criticizes the suggestive implication of newer bioethics that we need a new ethical paradigm in order to handle the innovations of medicine and biotechnology. It proves that these innovations have a suggestive character which is not relevant, however, in order to justify a paradigm shift in ethics.
This book criticizes the suggestive implication of newer bioethics that we need a new ethical paradigm in order to handle with the innovations of medicine and biotechnology. It holds that these innovations have a suggestive character at all which is not relevant however in order to justify a paradigm shift in ethics. Especially the suggestions of reproduction, genetics, mercy killing and neuroscience reveal a misunderstanding about ethics. Moreover they show inevitably theological implications they actually like to avoid especially in secular ethics.
