Biomedical Ethics for Engineers provides biomedical engineers with
a new set of tools and an understanding that the application of
ethical measures will seldom reach consensus even among fellow
engineers and scientists. The solutions are never completely
technical, so the engineer must continue to improve the means of
incorporating a wide array of societal perspectives, without
sacrificing sound science and good design principles.
Dan Vallero understands that engineering is a profession that
profoundly affects the quality of life from the subcellular and
nano to the planetary scale. Protecting and enhancing life is the
essence of ethics; thus every engineer and design professional
needs a foundation in bioethics. In high-profile emerging fields
such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and green engineering, public
concerns and attitudes become especially crucial factors given the
inherent uncertainties and high stakes involved. Ethics thus means
more than a commitment to abide by professional norms of conduct.
This book discusses the full suite of emerging biomedical and
environmental issues that must be addressed by engineers and
scientists within a global and societal context. In addition it
gives technical professionals tools to recognize and address
bioethical questions and illustrates that an understanding of the
application of these measures will seldom reach consensus even
among fellow engineers and scientists.
- Working tool for biomedical engineers in the new age of
technology
- Numerous case studies to illustrate the direct application of
ethical techniques and standards
- Ancillary materials available online for easy integration into
any academic program
