Speaking for the Dead is an incisive examination of the highly
topical and often controversial issues surrounding the use of human
cadavers in scientific research. Fully revised and updated to
include recent developments in this area, this new edition
incorporates the repeated organ scandals in the UK, body parts
scandals in the United States, and the abuses of bodies in China.
The book provides new material on neuroimaging, neuroethics and
Alzheimer's disease and the major ethical issues they raise for
society, in addition to discussing plastination in the form of
BodyWorlds types of exhibitions. As human anatomists and
bioethicists, the authors offer a unique perspective on these
issues, crossing the boundaries between clinical, medical, legal
and ethical concerns. Their exploration of both historical and
contemporary data results in a clear and comprehensive examination
of issues at the forefront of bioethics. With its clear writing
style and use of non-technical language Speaking for the Dead will
be an essential book for all those interested in bioethics, an area
which continues to increase in significance with the development of
new techniques for the manipulation of human cadavers. As human
anatomists and bioethicists, the authors offer a unique perspective
on these issues, crossing the boundaries between clinical, medical,
legal and ethical concerns. Their exploration of historical
developments as well as their analyses of recent case studies
result in a pertinent and comprehensive examination of issues at
the forefront of bioethics.
