Leon R. Kass joins body and soul uniquely as a physician and philosopher. Trained as a doctor, with a degree in biochemistry, he believes that scientific discoveries have raised questions which scientific reasoning can’t answer. In this program with Bill Moyers, Dr. Kass, a professor at the University of Chicago, explores the moral implications of euthanasia and of medical advances in assisted reproduction. (53 minutes)
