The former chair of the German Ethics Council, Alena Buyx, addresses the big questions of life in a way that is easy to understand and relatable.
When it comes to our health, facing illness, or matters of life and death, we are often confronted with decisions that can overwhelm us. Medical ethicist Alena Buyx tackles the many ethical questions that we all inevitably face at some point. She empowers us to form our own assessments and positions, ultimately enabling us to make informed decisions.
The challenges span the entire lifespan: topics include artificial insemination, prenatal diagnostics, and premature births, as well as euthanasia, assisted suicide, and palliative care. The new possibilities arising from current research, such as the use of AI and robotics, also play a significant role. Through numerous case stories, Alena Buyx guides us clearly and understandably, while also being approachable and empathetic, through these profound questions.
A compass for the existential issues that concern us all – medical ethics for everyone.
