Abstract

In this book I take a short journey through the universe of bioethics. I go two ways: inward and outward. By going inward, I see inner selves. They deal with many bioethical issues. By going outward, I find that we are linked to other entities in matters of bioethics, too. The universe of bioethics is limited only by our own perception.

Notes

  1. 1.

    If there are 10 units of the good thing to share, and if you are already entitled to 3 and I to 1 before bargaining begins, then we would share equally what is left after accounting for these entitlements, or 6 (= 10 – 3 − 1). By dividing 6 in half, each of us would gain 3. Therefore, the 10 units are divided into 6 (= 3 + 3) for you and 4 (= 1 + 3) for me.
