In this book, developed by a group of collaborating scholars in
bioethics from different European countries, an overview is given
of the most salient themes in present-day bioethics. The themes are
discussed in order to enable the reader to have an in-depth
overview of the state of the art in bioethics. Introductory
chapters will guide the reader through the relevant dimensions of a
particular area, while subsequent case discussions will help the
reader to apply the ethical theories to specific clinical problems
and health policy queries. The book focuses on perspectives typical
for the European context. This highlights not only particular
bioethical themes such as social justice, choices in health care,
and health policy (e.g., in post-communist countries), it also
emphasizes specific approaches in ethical theory, in relation to
Continental philosophies such as phenomenology and hermeneutics.
Because of its articulation of what is typical for the European
health care setting as well as for bioethical debate, this book is
unique in comparison to existing textbooks in bioethics.
The book is an introductory textbook acquainting the reader with
the major issues in present-day health care as well as the various
theoretical and practical approaches to clarify these issues.
