This work presents the first comprehensive and systematic treatment
of all relevant issues and topics in contemporary global bioethics.
Now that bioethics has entered into a novel global phase, a wider
set of issues, problems and principles is emerging against the
backdrop of globalization and in the context of global relations.
This new stage in bioethics is furthermore promoted through the
ethical framework presented in the UNESCO Universal Declaration on
Bioethics and Human Rights adopted in 2005. This Declaration is the
first political statement in the field of bioethics that has been
adopted unanimously by all Member States of UNESCO. In contrast to
other international documents, it formulates a commitment of
governments and is part of international law (though not binding as
a Convention). It presents a universal framework of ethical
principles for the further development of bioethics at a global
level. The Encyclopedia of Global Bioethics caters to the need for
a comprehensive overview and systematic treatment of all pertinent
new topics and issues in the emerging global bioethics debate. It
provides descriptions and analysis of a vast range of important new
issues from a truly global perspective and with a cross-cultural
approach. New issues covered by the Encyclopedia and neglected in
more traditional works on bioethics include, but are not limited
to, sponsorship of research and education, scientific misconduct
and research integrity, exploitation of research participants in
resource-poor settings, brain drain and migration of healthcare
workers, organ trafficking and transplant tourism, indigenous
medicine, biodiversity, commodification of human tissue, benefit
sharing, bio industry and food, malnutrition and hunger, human
rights and climate change.
