Abstract

While reading “Between Humaneness and Human Rights”, I found myself more than once nodding in agreement. And I began asking myself how to provide a reply from a Christian perspective, when much of what I could say had already been said, and better, through the presentation of what was referred to as the Jewish tradition. Should my Christian presentation just echo what was said or should I look for anything uniquely Christian in relation to bioethics and as being different from what could be said in other religious traditions? And is this really possible?
