Drawing on a wide range of primary historical and sociological
sources and employing sharp philosophical analysis, this book
investigates medical ethics from a Chinese-Western comparative
perspective. In doing so, it offers a fascinating exploration of
both cultural differences and commonalities exhibited by China and
the West in medicine and medical ethics. The book carefully
examines a number of key bioethical issues in the Chinese
socio-cultural context including: attitudes toward foetuses;
disclosure of information by medical professionals; informed
consent; professional medical ethics; health promotion; feminist
bioethics; and human rights. It not only provides insights into
Chinese perspectives, but also sheds light on the appropriate
methods for comparative cultural and ethical studies. Through his
pioneering study, Jing-Bao Nie has put forward a theory of
"trans-cultural bioethics," an ethical paradigm which upholds the
primacy of morality whilst resisting cultural stereotypes, and
appreciating the internal plurality, richness, dynamism and
openness of medical ethics in any culture. Medical Ethics in China
will be of particular interest to students and academics in the
fields of Medical Law, Bioethics, Medical Ethics, Cross-Cultural
Ethics as well as Chinese/Asian Studies and Comparative
Cross-Cultural Studies.
