Brave New Biocracy. BRAVE NEW BIOCRACY: HEALTH CARE FROM WOMB TO TOMB Life, Death and the Boundaries of the Person Ivan Illich Source: NPQ: New Perspectives Quarterly, Winter94, Vol. 11 Issue 1 DNA maps and genetic cleansing; embryo cloning and euthanasia; organ transplants and physician-assisted suicide--never before have the traditional boundaries of life and death become so blurred. Never before has science intruded so pervasively into the sanctuary of the person.
Where once only angels would tread, the medical establishment now treats. Life is not Sacred BREMEN, GERMANY -- Physicians in the Hippocratic tradition were pledged to restore the balance -- or "health" -- of their patient's constitution but forbidden to use their skills to deal with death. When the Hippocratic signs indicated to the physician that the patient had entered into agony, the "atrium between life and death," he had to withdraw from what was now a deathbed.
In our world, these boundaries have been obliterated. The History of a Life.

Alfred Schutz. First published Tue Oct 29, 2002; substantive revision Thu Mar 13, 2014 Alfred Schutz, more than any other phenomenologist, attempted to relate the thought of Edmund Husserl to the social world and the social sciences. His Phenomenology of the Social World supplied philosophical foundations for Max Weber's sociology and for economics, with which he was familiar through contacts with colleagues of the Austrian school.
When Schutz fled Hitler's Anschluss of Austria and immigrated to the United States in 1939, he developed his thought further in relationship to the social sciences, American pragmatism, logical empiricism, and to various other fields of endeavor such as music and literature. His work has been influential on new movements in sociological thought such as ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. 1.
