"Persons . . . are members of a social community
that shapes and values them, and personhood must be
defined in terms of interactions and relationships with
others."
Susan Sherwin. 1999. Ethical Issues:
Perspectives for Canadians. Ed. Soifer, Eldon.
Peterborough, Ontario: Broadview Press, p. 267
Susan Sherwin attempts to define personhood
on the basis of interactions of individuals in relationships with
others. The next slides will examine some of the problems associated
with these ideas.
