Bringing Life to Ethics

Global Bioethics for a Humane Society

Beschreibung

Enlarges the meaning and scope of inquiry into our values, relationships, and treatment of animals, the environment, and each other. Bringing Life to Ethics continues in the tradition of Michael W. Fox's lifelong inquiry into values, social and personal relationships, and the treatment of animals, the environment, and each other. Fox, the popular nationally syndicated columnist of "Ask the Animal Doctor", uses the compass of global bioethics in this book-humility, responsibility, interdisciplinary and intercultural competence, and compassion-to counter technological, ecological, and value threats by pointing in the direction of a humane and sustainable society. Not intended to further the scholarly debate over what constitutes ethics, Fox brings ethics into our personal and professional lives. He shows how bioethics has immediate relevance and applicability to a wide range of public and private enterprises.
