Valuing Life

Focusing on the value of life, John Kleinig challenges the prevailing negative discourse surrounding contentious issues like abortion and euthanasia. He explores whether life itself deserves affirmation and respect, examining the hierarchy of living beings and the unique claims of human life. By unpacking the complex language surrounding worth, dignity, and rights, Kleinig highlights the varied interpretations of "life." This insightful work appeals to those interested in environmental, animal rights, and bioethical discussions, offering a fresh perspective on valuing existence.
