Bioethics. The science of survival

For a long time, all the most important and interesting in science has been going on at the junction of different disciplines: bioetics, for example, is somewhere at the intersection of natural and humanities. The “bridge to the future” calls this teaching, founded in 1970 by Van Renser Potter.
Bioetics is a link between biomedical facts and moral values. In its focus, life is as the highest value of the human world. Do we always realize this? But at every step we can encounter complex questions, the answers to which everyone should find for themselves. These issues can accompany a person from birth ("surrogate motherhood", the fate of "extra" embryos in IVF) to death (euthanasia or the problem of the death penalty) The development of civilization and new technologies expands the circle of difficult things for humans. From what moment can the embryo be considered a person? Who can become a donor for transplanting organs? Is it possible to intervene in the aging process? Is manipulating the consciousness of people for political and other purposes permissible? And the use of NLP to achieve success? What will happen in the field of law when people become immortal? ..
This book describes the most acute problems that cause discussions in society and will help to decide on their attitude to them
