BIOETHICS AS RESPECT AND LOVE OF LIFESOME REFLECTIONS ON FRITZ JAHR’S THOUGHT

Abstract

We live in relationships. Every day we are relating to someone or some-thing through social contacts or business transactions. No one can isolate oneself from this wave of relationships even a hermit can not opt out of it. Through relating to outside world, we grow more mature socially, men-tally, physically, and spiritually. Certain norms and arts of relating in all these, however, are expected. This we call ethics, the proper way of relating to others in life. Human relations take place whenever there is interaction such as talking to someone or in business transactions or when one seeks medical attention. Those who have pets, also develop special relations to the animals they raise. Even when one strolls along the river or in a park for a relaxing moment, one is relating to our natural world.
