This scholarly work is a remarkable contribution to the basic bioethical discussion. The rich perspectives of the world religions provide proof that the idea of human dignity has a high potential for consensus in the dialogue of the world religions on the ethical problems of modern life sciences. This stimulating material offers an important orientation for understanding of religious conceptions of human being and their significance for global bioethics. This research additionally analyses the legal use of the concept of human dignity in universal and regional declarations, national constitutions and legal systems. This book will surely interest readers, who want to learn the contribution of world religions to bioethics through their conceptions of human being and human dignity.
