Biomedical ethics raises a host of humanistic issues. Among these
are human dignity, personal autonomy, quality of life, and access
to care for all. Now, more than ever, scientific discoveries and
medical technologies prompt us to rethink older perspectives.
Humanists have an unprecedented opportunity to shape the moral
agenda of the future. In this collection of thoughtful articles
from the Humanist Institute, humanist scholars from various fields
explore a number of critical issues in bioethics. The moral status
of the human embryo, scientific medicine versus Eastern concepts of
caregiving, the human genome project, eugenics, contraception, and
the economics of healthcare are just some of the topics considered
in this enlightening volume. The contributors include: Berit
Brogaard, Vern Bullough, Carmela Epright, Faith Lagay, Mason Olds,
Howard B. Radest, Philip Regal, Andreas S. Rosenberg, Harvey
Sarles, David Schafer, Robert B. Tapp, Stephen P. Weldon, and
Michael Werner. For students of ethics, healthcare practitioners
and policy makers, and everyone who wishes to participate
intelligently in decisions involving cure and care, this work is of
great value.
