Bonnie Steinbock presents The Oxford Handbook of Bioethics - an
authoritative, state-of-the-art guide to current issues in
bioethics.
Thirty-four contributors reflect the interdisciplinarity that is
characteristic of bioethics, and its increasingly international
character. Thirty topics are covered in original essays written by
some of the world's leading figures in the field, as well as by
some newer 'up-and-comers'. The essays address both perennial
issues, such as the methodology of bioethics, autonomy, justice,
death, and moral status, and newer issues, such as biobanking, stem
cell research, cloning, pharmacogenomics, and bioterrorism. Other
topics concern mental illness and moral agency, the rule of double
effect, justice and the elderly, the definition of death, organ
transplantation, feminist approaches to commodification of the
body, life extension, advance directives, physician-assisted death,
abortion, genetic research, population screening, enhancement,
research ethics, and the implications of public and global health
for bioethics.
Anyone who wants to know how the central debates in bioethics have
developed in recent years, and where the debates are going, will
want to consult this book. It will be an invaluable resource not
only for scholars and graduate students in bioethics, but also for
those in philosophy, medicine, law, theology, social science,
public policy, and public health who wish to keep abreast of
developments in bioethics.
