Bioethics in Cultural Contexts: Reflections on Methods and Finitude
ISBN: 9781402042409 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. CHRISTOPH REHMANN-SUTTER, MARCUS DUWELL, DIETMAR MIETH When we placed finitude, limits of human existence as a motto over a round of discussion on biomedicine and bioethics (which led to this collection of essays) we did not know how far this would lead us into methodological quandaries. However, we felt intuitively that an interdisciplinary approach including social and cultural sciences would have an advantage over a solely disciplinary (philosophical or theological) analysis. Bioethics, if it is to have adequate discriminatory power, should include sensitivity to the cultural contexts of...

ISBN: 9780198713982 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Wish to die statements are becoming a frequent phenomenon in terminally ill patients. Those confronted by these statments need to understand the complexity of such wishes, so they can respond competently and compassionately to the requests. If misunderstood, the statements can be taken at face-value and the practitioner may not recognise that a patient is in fact experiencing ambivalent feelings at the end of life, or they may misinterpret the expressed wish to die as a sign of clinical depression.
Public debate about the morality and ethics of various end-of-life care options has... Wish to die statements are becoming a frequent phenomenon in terminally ill patients. Those confronted by these statments need to understand the compl...

Genetic Transparency? Ethical and Social Implications of Next Generation Human Genomics and Genetic Medicine
ISBN: 9789004306684 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Genetic Transparency? tackles the question of who has, or should have access to personal genomic information. Genomic science is revolutionary in how it changes the way we live, individually and together, and how it changes the shape of society. If this is so, then - the authors of this volume claim - the rules that regulate genetic transparency should be debated carefully, openly and critically. It is important to see that the social and cultural meanings of DNA and genetic sequences are much richer than can be accounted for by purely biomedical knowledge. In this book, an...

The Contingent Nature of Life: Bioethics and the Limits of Human Existence
ISBN: 9789048177172 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The development of bioethics has presented us with an ever increasing number of very different discussions over the last four decades. Bioethicists were initially c- cerned about questions of reproduction, end of life, organ transplantation, and a broad range of moral problems raised by the forward march of the life sciences. Meanwhile these sciences grew to be a major in?uence in nearly all areas of our lives. Biotechnology has brought about considerable changes in agriculture, plant breeding, pharmacy, veterinary medicine and medicine in general. These scienti?c and technological changes in...

Genes in Development: Re-Reading the Molecular Paradigm
ISBN: 9780822336563 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In light of scientific advances such as genomics, predictive diagnostics, genetically engineered agriculture, nuclear transfer cloning, and the manipulation of stem cells, the idea that genes carry predetermined molecular programs or blueprints is pervasive. Yet new scientific discoveries--such as rna transcripts of single genes that can lead to the production of different compounds from the same pieces of dna--challenge the concept of the gene alone as the dominant factor in biological development. Increasingly aware of the tension between certain empirical results and interpretations of...
