Bioethics in Our World: A Reader explores issues related to public
health, psychiatry, genetics, and more, and examines the moral
worth of actions within these fields. The anthology features
collected cases that examine various topics and encourage readers
to consider the ethical dilemmas they may face in their futures as
clinicians, researchers, and citizens. The book is organized into
seven units. The first unit presents the theories of
utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and care ethics.
Additional units cover topics that are salient to understanding the
nature of bioethics and the world in which bioethics exists. These
units address ethical issues in research; the history of eugenics
and its relationship to eugenic practices today; and reproductive
rights and technologies. Readers learn about experiences faced by
patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals with regard to
race, gender, age, and ability, and how these experiences are the
result of a history of bias and stereotyping. Euthanasia and
physician-assisted suicide, stem cell research, gene-editing
technology, and medicalization are explored. Timely,
thought-provoking, and essential, Bioethics in Our World is an
exemplary text for courses in public health, psychiatry, genetics,
medical research, or any other course that explores bioethics.
