Only a man the calibre of Daisaku Ikeda could bring such a project to fruition. Firmly setting aside cliché and facile answers, he broaches the grand questions that face today's society: cancer, AIDS, death with dignity, in vitro fertilization, biomedical ethics ... The responses offered by René Simard, molecular biologist and geneticist, and Guy Bourgeault, bioethicist, are insightful and compelling. Their discussions cut through linguistic and cultural barriers to present a vision of the potential - an the inherent challenges - of being human.On Being Human BuddhismDoctrinesMedical ethicsReligious aspectsBuddhismHealthReligious aspectsBuddhismBuddhismDoctrines.Medical ethicsReligious aspectsBuddhism.HealthReligious aspectsBuddhism.294.33615Ikeda Daisaku322833Simard RenéBourgeault Guy1933-NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910725005803321On being human2291239UNINA
