Baruch A. Brody has been one of the most important voices in
bioethics over the last several decades, asking new and challenging
questions about a range of problems, examining recalcitrant issues
in novel ways, always with the goal of offering practical solutions
to complex problems. This volume presents a sustained philosophical
analysis of Brody s contributions to biomedical ethics. The essays
in this volume compass epistemological, methodological, and topical
contributions to bioethics, including both application and
criticism of Brody s normative moral theory pluralistic casuistry
Jewish medical ethics, human embryo transfer, medical futility,
life and death decisions in pediatrics, euthanasia and end-of-life
decision-making, the obligations of clinical researchers toward
study participants, and professional integrity.
Done well, philosophical work can clarify complex issues,
facilitate creative problem solving, and lead to real-world
solutions to difficult situations. Each contributor carefully and
critically explores Brody s writings in biomedical ethics and the
philosophy of medicine, illustrating his appreciation that thorough
and critical scientific research and philosophical analysis are
central to reining in the untutored human desire to ameliorate pain
and suffering so that medical treatments and health care policy do
more good than harm. "
