Virtue Ethics and Human Enhancement
ISBN: 9789400756717 / Angielski / Miękka / 85 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book shows how pressing issues in bioethics e.g. the ownership of biological material and human cognitive enhancement successfully can be discussed with in a virtue ethics framework. This is not intended as a complete or exegetic account of virtue ethics. Rather, the aim here is to discuss how some key ideas in Aristotle s Nicomachean Ethics, when interpreted pragmatically, can be a productive way to approach some hot issues in bioethics. In spite of being a very promising theoretical perspective virtue ethics has so far been underdeveloped both in bioethics and neuroethics and most...

Medicine & Philosophy
ISBN: 9783110321050 / Angielski / Miękka / 475 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This textbook introduces the reader to basic problems in the philosophy of science and ethics, mainly by means of examples from medicine. It is based on the conviction that philosophy, medical science, medical informatics, and medical ethics are overlapping disciplines. It claims that the philosophical lessons to learn from the twentieth century are not that nature is a 'social construction' and that 'anything goes' with respect to methodological and moral rules. Instead, it claims that there is scientific knowledge, but that it is never completely secure; that there are norms, but that...

Biomedical Ethics Reviews - 1988
ISBN: 9781475746426 / Angielski / Miękka / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Biomedical Ethics Reviews is an annual publication designed to review and update the literature on issues of central importance in bioethics today. Ordinarily, more than one topic is discussed in each volume of Biomedical Ethics Reviews. This year, however, we have decided to devote the entire volume of Biomedical Ethics Reviews: 1988 to disussion of one topic, namely, AIDS. The ra- tionale for this decision should be clear: AIDS is arguably the most serious public health threat facing our nation today, and the char- acter of the disease is such that it creates special problems for ethicists,...

The Direction of Medical Ethics The direction bioethics, and specifically medical ethics, will take in the next few years will be crucial. It is an emerging specialty that has attempted a great deal, that has many differing agendas, and that has its own identity crisis. Is it a subspecialty of clinical medicine? Is it a medical reform movement? Is it a consumer pro tection movement? Is it a branch of professional ethics? Is it a ra tionale for legal decisions and agency regulations? Is it something physicians and ethical theorists do constructively together? Or is it a morally concentrated...

Compelled Compassion: Government Intervention in the Treatment of Critically Ill Newborns
ISBN: 9781461267492 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In April 1982, an infant boy was born in Bloomington, Indiana, with Down syndrome and a defective, but surgically correctable, esophagus. His parents refused to consent to surgery or intravenous feeding. The hospital unsuccessfully sought a court order to force treatment, and appeals to higher courts also failed. The child, identified as Baby Doe by the news media, subsequently died. The events in Bloomington became the catalyst for action by the Reagan administration, the courts, and Congress that culminated in a federal policy that makes failure to treat newborns with disabilities a form of...

What Is a Person?
ISBN: 9781461284123 / Angielski / Miękka / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea for an anthology on personhood grew out of two things, viz., the work I did with Martin Benjamin during the Summer of 1982 at Michigan State University on the question, What is a person?, and the amount of time, effort, and expense required for serious research on the topic itself. The former experience taught me the importance of, among other things, attempting to get clear about what we are to mean by 'person, ' while the latter experience suggested a possible course of action whereby getting clear might be made more manage able simply by having relatively convenient access to some...

Biomedical Ethics Reviews - 1983
ISBN: 9781475746327 / Angielski / Miękka / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past decade the body of literature in the area of biomedical ethics has expanded at an astounding rate. Indeed, on every major topic, the literature in this area has mUltiplied, and continues to do so, so rapidly that one can easily fall behind important advances in our thinking about and understanding of the problems of contemporary bioethics. Awareness of this need to keep apace of developments in the area prompted a recent reviewer of our earlier collection Biomedical Ethics and the Law (Plenum, 2nd edition, 1979) to suggest that somebody ought to offer the service of providing a...

Beneficence and Health Care
ISBN: 9789400977716 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The meaning and application of the principle of beneficence to issues in health care is rarely clear or certain. Although the principle is frequently employed to justify a variety of actions and inactions, very little has been done from a conceptual point of view to test its relevance to these behaviors or to explore its relationship to other moral principles that also might be called upon to guide or justify conduct. Perhaps more than any other, the principle of benef icence seems particularly appropriate to contexts of health care in which two or more parties interact from positions of...
