Persons, Humanity, and the Definition of Death ReviewJohn P. Lizza
Persons, Humanity, and the Definition of Death
(Baltimore,MD: Johns Hopkins University Press: [...], 2006) 212 pages
(ISBN: 0-8018-8250-8; hardcover)
(Library of Congress call number: RA1063.L59 2006)
(Medical call number: W820L789p 2006)
This book is a philosophical exploration of hypothethical possibilities
that could never happen in the real world:
brains being transplanted into empty skulls;
brains being replaced 1% at a time;
computer reconstructions of complete memories;
heads being transplanted into new bodies;
a soul existing inside a single human cell;
persons being defined by their DNA, even if consciousness is over forever.
As such it will be of interest only to other philosophers,
not to people who must make real bed-side decisions in hospitals.
It might be better for these thinkers to apply their minds
to everyday problems of medical ethics.
But this book might still be of interest to readers
who like to think of the most extreme possibilities.
If you would like to see other attempts to define persons,
search the Internet for the following phrase:
"Personhood Bibliography".
