Published in 1998, this book addresses the moral, social and
political problems emerging from the practice of healing and
caring, biomedical research and the provision of health care
services. The primary aim of many professional bioethicists is, of
late, to solve as efficiently as possible, the problems encountered
by health care providers and scientists in clinical, laboratory and
administrative settings. Seen from the viewpoint of applied
philosophy, however, this is a dangerous tendency if the grounds
for the suggested solutions are not properly examined. Even choices
which are harmless and seem to involve no immoralities can be
indirectly hazardous if those making choices appeal to dubious
ethical principles or inaccurate data. This is why this book is
dedicated to the examination of the reasons that people can and
should have for their health care related decisions as well as to
the formulation of good solutions to difficult problems. It covers
criterial in life and death decisions, voluntary euthanasia and
medical paternalism, wrongful medical authoritarianism, health
education, preventive medicine and the welfare of the population,
AIDS, discrimination and legal restrictions, and health care
policy-making.
