Stem cell research. Drug company influence. Abortion.
Contraception. Long-term and end-of-life care. Human participants
research. Informed consent. The list of ethical issues in science,
medicine, and public health is long and continually growing. These
complex issues pose a daunting task for professionals in the
expanding field of bioethics. But what of the practice of bioethics
itself? What issues do ethicists and bioethicists confront in their
efforts to facilitate sound moral reasoning and judgment in a
variety of venues? Are those immersed in the field capable of
making the right decisions? How and why do they face moral
challenge -- and even compromise -- as ethicists? What values
should guide them? In The Ethics of Bioethics, Lisa A. Eckenwiler
and Felicia G. Cohn tackle these questions head on, bringing
together notable medical ethicists and people outside the
discipline to discuss common criticisms, the field's inherent
tensions, and efforts to assign values and assess success. Through
twenty-five lively essays examining the field's history and trends,
shortcomings and strengths, and the political and policy interplay
within the bioethical realm, this comprehensive book begins a
much-needed critical and constructive discussion of the moral
landscape of bioethics.
