Summary:

Biotopes and Bioethics are highly complex and adaptable systems of Bios. Individual bios is terminal, but the stream of Bios goes on. Basic properties of Bios such as communication and cooperation, competence and competition, contemplation and calculation, compassion and cultivation come in different shades of light and dark in individuals and species, in history and ecology. Ham Martin Sass discusses the territories of Bios and Bioethics, based on his involvement in decades ok consulting in academia, business and politics. Special attention is given to the vision and role of Bioethics in research and training, m religious and cultural traditions, and in the survival, happiness, and health of corporate, social and political bodies.
