摘要

The book by Irmi Rey-Stocker presented centres of the reciprocal communication between the sciences of nature and religion. "Both need each other to agree on the elementary questions concerning the beginning and the end of human life" says the German philosopher and sociologist Juergen Habermas. The book helps to get a general idea of the philosophical, natural scientific and religious understanding what life really means. It introduces the reader to the monotheistic world view and the there from deduced ethic. Which conceptions represent these three religions regarding the beginning of life, medical assisted reproduction, birth and termination of pregnancy, terminal care, euthanasia, death, and the care of the death? Which consequences does this mean for the treatment of patients of different religious denominations while they stay in a hospital? These subjects make clear to whom this book is addressed: medical scientist and their colleagues, everyone who has anything to do with the beginning and the end of life.
