Hindu Bioethics for the Twenty-first Century

“Crawford makes accessible a wealth of Hindu perspectives on biomedical reasoning and practice that are at once practical and profound. His book is indispensable for practitioners and educators in biomedicine and health care who are concerned with utilizing the contributions of world traditions to attain more comprehensive and satisfactory solutions to some of the most challenging problems faced by humankind. It is a tremendous resource for understanding Hindu value theory and philosophy of person and body, as seen through the lens of health and medicine.”

S. Cromwell Crawford is Professor and Chair of Religion at the University of Hawaii and the author of many books on Hindu ethics, including Dilemmas of Life and Death: Hindu Ethics in a North American Context, also published by SUNY Press.
