Can love be a language of bio-ethics?

Abstract

"When Darryl Macer asked me to deliver a paper about 'Love as a language of bio-ethics', my first thought was, 'What a lovely idea!'. Love is, indeed, a very valuable attitude, and, not at least, it is a brief and handy four-letter-word. However, while pondering the question of how to come to terms with this paper, it turned out that my first reaction had been too optimistic."
