Spiritual Issues Should Be Considered

摘要

My comment on the article by Brandt and Angstwurm ( 1 ) is that much greater value should be placed on spiritual or religious issues than on sober scientific approaches. The question is that of life and death. The fact that an ethics committee has to be summoned in order to decide whether brain death means a person’s actual death or not, shows the degree to which human intellectuality has come to overlay our hidden spiritual insights.
