    Summary note
    "The book Morality and Life discusses a particular normative approach to bioethical issues, namely the deontological theory based on Kant's ethics and some of its contemporary developments. The main goal is to offer a critical assessment of these Kantian views on the value of life and its relation to morality and afterwards to apply them to particular bioethical issues such as abortion, suicide, assisted suicide, euthanasia, patient's rights, genetic engineering, negative and positive eugenics, biopolitics and so on. No doubt, these issues are in everyone's interest. This work thus offers an innovative contribution to the public discussion concerning these vital questions. The volume contains essays by José Nicolau Heck, Thomas Mertens, Cinara Nahra, Marco Antonio Azevedo, Milene Consenso Tonetto, Alcino Eduardo Bonella, Darlei Dall'Agnol, Alessandro Pinzani, Delamar José Volpato Dutra, Roberto Mordacci and Alberto Pirni."--Publisher's description.
