The overall theme of this volume is the understanding of human
dignity, autonomy, and human rights in health care and social
services in modern welfare states, with special reference to the
Nordic countries. Focus is put on vulnerable groups such as
children, individuals with cognitive impairment or mental illness,
and persons with physical disabilities. Experts from different
disciplines identify the ethical and legal dilemmas in modern
welfare services and describe how basic values and/or rights come
in conflict in concrete situations. Of particular interest is how
the human rights perspective challenges the policies and
regulations of modern welfare states while at the same time
providing the overall normative direction for solving ethical,
legal, and social conflicts or shortcomings. Although the human
rights perspective is the most dominant, insights from philosophy
and the social sciences provide both a necessary and fruitful
supplement to the legal approach. The volume will be of interest
for academics, researchers, and students in the field of health
care ethics, human rights, and welfare state policies. It presents
a challenging outlook on dilemmas that are characteristic for the
modern welfare state in general, and for the Nordic countries in
particular, and it will give the reader important insights and
references for further studies.
