Pope John Paul Ii Genetic Engineering

of these hereditary materials, scientists have
ventured into the recent, and rather
controversial, field of genetic engineering. It is
described as the 'artificial modification of the
genetic code of a living organism', and involves
the 'manipulation and alteration of inborn
characteristics' by humans. Like many other
issues, genetic engineering has...

1964 studying the 'foot people' of the Amazon
Basin known as the Yanomamo. In his ethnography,
Yanomamo, he describes all of the events of his

regularly listed crime and violence as the number
- one problem facing the nation, far surpassing
worries over the economy or health care. Despite

launched during recent years to reduce crime, most
Americans see no improvement. In a 1993 survey
asking respondents if they felt crime was
increasing or decreasing in their areas, only 5 %
felt that it was decreasing, a full 93 % felt that
crime was either increa...

Morally Justified Pro Choice

Abortions Introduction The problem of abortion was
always in the centre of attention of moral and
ethical discussions. We can easily notice
confrontation of two main groups: pro-life and
pro-choice. Differences in historically prevalent
orthodox (or conservative) and liberal positions
of relatively allowable choice were the subjects
of heated debates. Whereas Don Marquis upholds
classic non-religious anti-abortion standpoint,
Judith Thompson considers that woman has right to
choose whether to ma...

Value Of Human Life Point Of View

Global Ethical Issues Today (1) Nowadays, many
issues that have purely practical connotation, are
being discussed within a context of philosophical
ethics, because they are traditionally considered
as such that pose public controversy. The concept
of ethics operates with the notion of morality. In
its turn, the morality has a relative value,
because it derives out of religious perception of
the world. However, we can still figure out of
whether any particular way of addressing the
problematic is...

The Case for Active Euthanasia As I see it, the
contention of the author is sound and balanced.
She does not advocate outright euthanasia for
everyone who she thinks needs it but in fact makes
limitations such that she will not administer it
to those who are not able to defend themselves
because of certain disabilities, the babies and
even the elderly. Yet, she is agreeable to have it
done on those patients who are still able to
rationalize and think for themselves. Procee's

Can morality provide us with a form of
self-transcendence? Within the scope of this
research, we will elaborate on various
philosophers opinions in order to find out whether
morality can provide us with a form of self
transcendence. Self-transcendence, according to
Nietzsche, is the common essence of all moral
codes. "Man, " he says, "is something that should
be transcended. " (Cohen 126) Self-transcendence
is, for him, not only the essence of morality, but
most emphatically the essence of man h...
