Summary
In a world of respirators and embryos stored for years in liquid nitrogen, we can no longer take the sanctity of human life as the cornerstone of our ethical outlook. This book argues that we cannot deal with the crucial issues of death, abortion, euthanasia, and the rights of non-human animals unless replace the old ethic with the new.
