Abstract

After a quick review of how new advancements in the field of molecular biology have changed medicine and, thereby, the philosophy of medicine, I focus on three themes: 1) the logical problem of constructing a computational language for molecular biology; 2) the ontological problem concerning who we are from a biological point of view; 3) the epistemological problem regarding the status of the many definitions of clinical death.

Keywords
