Public Bioethics collects the most influential essays and articles
of James F. Childress, a leading figure in the field of
contemporary bioethics. These essays, including new,
previously-unpublished material, cohere around the idea of 'public
bioethics,' which concerns the analysis and assessment of public
policies in biomedicine, health care, and public health. The volume
is divided into four sections - The first examines the principle of
respect for autonomy and paternalistic policies and practices. The
second explores the tension between bioethics, public policy, and
religious convictions, such as the right of health care providers
to conscientiously refuse to provide treatment to certain patients.
The third section looks at practices and policiies related to organ
transplantation; Childress places particular focus on determining
death, obtaining first-person consent for deceased organ donation,
fairly allocating donated organs, and related issues in the
distribution of scarce resources. The final section maps the broad
terrain of public ethics; Childress propoposes a triage framework
for the use of resources in public health crises, addresses public
health interventions that potentially infringe civil liberties, and
sheds light on John Stuart Mill's misunderstood legacy on public
health ethics. Public Bioethics deftly explicates both contemporary
bioethical issues and the processes involved in determining
appropriate policies and publicly justifying collective
recommendations, reflecting the author's vast experience serving on
public bioethics committees, particularly at the national level in
the United States. Providing a thorough account of the principles
that govern issues within the healthcare system, this book will
appeal to bioethicists, physicians, and public policy-makers.
