Title
Liquid Life: Abortion and Buddhism in Japan,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Why would a country strongly influenced by Buddhism's reverence for life allow legalized, widely used abortion? Equally puzzling to many Westerners is the Japanese practice of mizuko rites, in which the parents of aborted fetuses pray for the wellbeing of these rejected 'lives.' In this provocative investigation, William LaFleur examines abortion as a window on the culture and ethics of Japan. At the same time he contributes to the Western debate on abortion, exploring how the Japanese resolve their conflicting emotions privately and avoid the prolife/prochoice politics that sharply divide Americans on the issue.
