The questions and dilemmas of bioethics touch everyone. Should
people who refuse to be vaccinated be treated for COVID-19, even if
that displaces vaccinated patients with other serious conditions?
What restrictions on abortion should there be, if any? Should women
be paid to donate eggs? Bioethics: What Everyone Needs to Know (R)
discusses these and other similar questions facing the public
today-as well as providing a way for thinking deeply about them.
Steinbock and Menzel first examine major moral theories and how
they can be used to analyze bioethical issues. They then provide
historical background to the birth of bioethics and explain how it
shifted from a paternalistic doctor knows best approach to respect
for autonomy, a fundamental value in contemporary bioethics.
Subsequent chapters cover advance directives, experimentation on
human subjects, the definition of death, physician-assisted dying,
abortion, disability, just healthcare systems, the allocation of
scarce resources, pharmaceutical drug pricing, assisted
reproductive technology, egg donation, surrogate motherhood, sex
selection, and the genetic modification of humans. Race and gender
are considered throughout, as are the ethical issues raised by
pandemics. Steinbock and Menzel consider the controversial
questions that surface in the public sphere, explaining the facts,
and then evaluating different approaches to resolving them.
