Should editing the human genome be allowed? What are the ethical
implications of social restrictions during a pandemic? Is it
ethical to use animals in clinical research? Is prioritizing
COVID-19 treatment increasing deaths from other causes? Bioethics
is a dynamic field of inquiry that draws on interdisciplinary
expertise and methodology to address normative issues in
healthcare, medicine, biomedical research, biotechnology, public
health, and the environment. This Is Bioethics is an ideal
introductory textbook for students new to the field, exploring the
fundamental questions, concepts, and issues within this rapidly
evolving area of study. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject,
this accessible volume helps students consider both traditional and
cutting-edge questions, develop informed and defensible answers,
and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a diverse range of
ethical positions in medicine. The authors avoid complex technical
terms and jargon in favor of an easy-to-follow, informal writing
style with engaging chapters designed to stimulate student interest
and encourage class discussion. The book also features a deep dive
into the realm of global public health ethics, including the
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It considers topics like triage
decision-making, the proportionality of society's response to
COVID-19, whether doctors have a professional obligation to treat
COVID-19 patients, and whether vaccines for this virus should be
mandatory. A timely addition to the acclaimed This Is Philosophy
series, This Is Bioethics is the ideal primary textbook for
undergraduate bioethics and practical ethics courses, and is a
must-have reference for students in philosophy, biology,
biochemistry, and medicine.
