This is the first book in healthcare ethics addressing the moral
issues regarding ownership of the human body. Modern medicine
increasingly transforms the body and makes use of body parts for
diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive purposes. The book analyzes
the concept of body ownership. It also reviews the ownership issues
arising in clinical care (for example, donation policies, autopsy)
and biomedical research. Societies and legal systems also have to
deal with issues of body ownership. A comparison is made between
specific legal arrangements in The Netherlands and France, as
examples of legal approaches. In the final section of the book,
different theoretical perspectives on the human body are analyzed:
libertarian, personalist, deontological and utilitarian theories of
body ownership.
