Medical developments have given people unprecedented control over the beginning and end of life but have also altered traditional and legal concepts of personhood. Recent court decisions on prefetal life, fetuses, the infirm, and the dying reflect a struggle with the new ambiguity surrounding the definition of "person."
医学发展赋予了人们对生命起点和终点前所未有的控制权,但也改变了关于人格的传统和法律概念。最近法庭关于胎儿期前生命、胎儿、体弱者和垂死者的判决,反映了在围绕“人”的定义的新模糊性方面的挣扎。
