[From back cover] In a probing philosophical analysis of suicide, abortion, infanticide, and senicide. Mr. Kluge lays bare the premises of the arguments for and against these life-involving decisions, analyzes the structure of the various ethical positions, and exposes their strengths and weaknesses. His analysis, radical in its dependence on logic and argumentation, is the best discussion we have of the more abstract aspects of the philosophy of biomedical ethics. "This book is a splendid critical exposition of the arguments for and against abortion, suicide, euthanasia, infanticide, and senicide. Here, at long last, is a courageous philosopher who maintains that personhood and humanity are not identical and that being a person has absolute and intrinsic value. . . . Wonderfully readable and an important contribution." - Library Journal "The purpose of the book is to examine critically the representative positions held in society about the matters of life and death in each of the issues covered. . . Serves as a philosophical survey of the practical ethical problems that trouble our society." - Review of Books and Religion "For students and scholars and all of us who are presently concerned with the increasingly pressing question of 'who shall live' Professor Kluge's book is one from which we may derive practical as well as philosophical benefit." - Sociology Eike-Henner Bz. Kluge is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Victoria. Seller Inventory # 20210312001
