Description:"In the world of health care today, advancements in technology have enabled the life of a patient in a persistent vegetative state to be prolonged. This raises ethical questions such as when we morally ought to, or ought not to, assist a patient to live or to die. In these difficulty situations, the concept of person can act as a benchmark for deciding whom to include and whom not to include in the moral domain. However, the problem with some concepts is that they tend to exclude a large number of human beings. This book provides a philosophical and ethical analysis regarding how some concepts of person tend to end up being more exclusive than inclusive. In a response to this, the author uses the work of a number of philosophers to situate the concept of person in the context of meaning and significance. Following this, a broader concept of person is presented to face the challenge of exclusivity and to include a greater number of human beings."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
