Sanctity of life: Exploring its significance in modern medicine and bioethics.
Ballesteros Gallego, Fabian Andres.

Sanctity of life: Exploring its significance in modern medicine and bioethics. - 78 p.

Adviser: Walter Glannon.

Thesis (M.Sc.)--McGill University (Canada), 2001.

This thesis explores the concept of “Sanctity of Life” from the perspective of what “life,” in particular human life, means today. With the rapid advances in science and modern medical practice, the concept of life has undergone many changes, shaking the foundations of what before made us view life as sacred. Modern thought has brought new forms of understanding to the concept of life.

520 $a This thesis explores the concept of “Sanctity of Life” from the perspective of what “life,” in particular human life, means today. With the rapid advances in science and modern medical practice, the concept of life has undergone many changes, shaking the foundations of what before made us view life as sacred. Modern thought has brought new forms of understanding to the concept of life.
520 $a I question the goals of modern medicine and biotechnology, and criticize the reductionist view of life. And finally, I highlight a new ethical approach that could bridge science and moral convictions about the concept of life. This approach explores the argument of sanctity of life and its utility in approaching assisted medical techniques and genetic intervention. It is my opinion that this ethical principle has not lost importance and could be reshaped and adapted to a contemporary understanding of life in the light of our democratic and pluralistic society.
