Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-24 00:00:00 Jeffrey Scott An important consideration of the nature and relevance of human identity to questions about biomedical ethics. The writing and the solidity of the argument are somewhat uneven, and I found the discussion of advance directives (the area where I've spent the most time intellectually) rather weak, but his response to Locke/psychological identity felt important to me, and I will be thinking about his critique of person and mind essentialism for quite some time. I'm less confident that he has really solved the mind:body problem with his numeric plus narrative identity combination. Worth reading for people concerned about the philosophical foundation of advance directives, enhancements, and abortion or people who are seriously worried about the nature of identity in terms of practical philosophical implications.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-24 00:00:00 Jessica Duff I thought this book was intelligent, well-argued, and thought-provoking. I'm not entirely convinced that all of the author's conclusions are correct, but the subject matter of the book is of the highest importance.
