The contemporary debate is driven by the paradoxical prominence and elusiveness of this concept in judicial interpretation. Its meaning is notoriously hard to pin down, as manifested on easy appropriation by both sides of such controversies as abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and other heated issues in bioethics"-- Provided by publisher |
