Human corporeality: Anthropological and theological dimensions

Abstract

Human corporeality enters bioethics as its own content and fundamental problem. In fact, “bioethics” is a composite term that links together bios (life) and ethos (ethics): it is ethics concerning the problems of life.

But there is no doubt that precisely because human life is always a life in the body and with the body.
