5.0 out of 5 stars A fundamental book for anyone interested in bioethics, June 4, 1999

Bonard Molina (drboni@hotmail.com) (Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Toward a More Natural Science (Paperback)

Kass asks the fundamental question "do we wish to live longer in order to live better, or do we wish to live better in order to live longer?" By going through the roots of medicine and the hippocratic oath, Kass shows what the healing arts are meant to be, and he exposes what the curing industry is rapidly becoming. Kass also takes an indepth look at science itself as it relates to research, ethics and the most basic levels of the human condition.
