This book is aimed at analyzing the foundations of medical ethics
by considering different moral theories and their implications for
judgments in clinical practice and policy-making. It provides a
review of the major types of ethical theory that can be applied to
medical and bioethical issues concerning reproductive genetics. In
response to the debate on the most adequate ethical doctrine to
guide biomedical decisions, this book formulates views that capture
the best elements in each, bearing in mind their differences and
taking into account the specific character of medicine. No
historically influential position in ethics is by itself adequate
to be applied to reproductive decisions. Thus, this book attempts
to offer a pluralistic approach to biomedical research and medical
practice. One usually claims that there are some basic principles
(non-maleficence, beneficence, confidentiality, autonomy, and
justice) which constitute the foundations of bioethics and medical
ethics. Yet these principles conflict with each other and one needs
some criteria to solve these conflicts and to specify the scope of
application of these principles. Exploring miscellaneous ethical
approaches as introduced to biomedicine, particularly to
reproductive genetics, the book shall elucidate their different
assumptions concerning human nature and the relations between
healthcare providers, recipients, and other affected parties (e.g.
progeny, relatives, other patients, society). The book attempts to
answer the question of whether the tension between these ethical
doctrines generates conflict in the field of biomedicine or if
these competing approaches could in some way complement each other.
In this respect, lecturers and researchers in bioethics would be
interested in this reading this book.
