Establishment of the biological paradigm -- Defining death : beyond biology -- Concepts of person -- Persons as substances -- The constitutive view of persons -- Persons as human organisms -- Persons as qualities or phases of human organisms -- Public policy and the definition of death
"In this timely work, John P. Lizza presents the first comprehensive analysis of personhood and humanity in the context of defining death. Rejecting the common assumption that human or personal death is simply a biological phenomenon for biologists or physicians to define, Lizza argues that the definition of death is also a matter for metaphysical reflection, moral choice, and cultural acceptance."--BOOK JACKET
