abstract="This comment shows that the common statement of the German bishops' conference and of the VELKD on &quot;God and human dignity&quot; is to be understood as necessary witness to a consensus in which the confessions find a common basis. The comment unfolds it as a &quot;differentiated consensus&quot; based on a biblical consensus even when ethical issues are concerned. As far as research into embryotic stem cells and assisted suicide are concerned, a confined dissent is noticed. It is then discussed to what extent this dissent is to be understood as a confined one or as a significant disagreement even with regard to fundamental distinctions as for example &quot;human life&quot; and &quot;beginning of being human&quot;. The comment appreciates further discussion and testing of the presented approaches for all confessions maintaining a differentiated consensus. © 2017 Aschendorffsche Verlagsbuchhandlung.
