Abstract

Chinese traditional bioethics is based on the life origin theory of "Qi (vital force) permeates everything under heaven", the attitude towards life theory of "loving people" and "loving things", and the life transcendence theory of "eternity" and "immortality". The life origin theory answers the question of how life comes into being, which is the basis for exploring the mystery of life. The attitude towards life theory gives answers to the question of how to treat life properly and establishes the basic requirements and criteria for treating life. The life transcendence theory responds to the question of how to make life more meaningful. Those three thoughts support each other and explain each other with the inner logical band between these three basic thoughts, and tentatively offers a reasonable way for the reconstruction of traditional Chinese bioethics, which can be a special theoretical resource for today's bioethical research.
