Recent debates about uses and abuses of the human body in
medicine have highlighted the need for a thorough discussion of the
ethics of the uses of bodies, both living and dead.
Thorough and comprehensive, this volume explores different views
of the significance of the human body and contrasting those which
regard it as a commodity or personal possession with those which
stress its moral value as integral to the personal identity of
individuals. The Body in Bioethics addresses a number of key
questions including:
- Should it be legal to sell human organs for
transplantation?
- Are public displays of plastinated bodies or public autopsies
morally justifiable?
- Should there be restrictions on the uses of human tissue in
teaching and research?
- Is the rapid increase in volume and range of cosmetic surgery a
matter for moral concern?
This careful study of moral values provides essential background
to many of the current controversies in medical ethics and is
essential reading for all students of law, medical law and medical
ethics.
