Bioethics is the study of ethical issues arising out of advances in
the life sciences and medicine. Historically, bioethics has been
associated with issues in research ethics and clinical ethics as a
result of research scandals such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and
public debates about the definition of death, medical paternalism,
health care rationing, and abortion. As biomedical technologies
have advanced, challenging new questions have arisen for bioethics
and new sub-disciplines such as neuroethics and public health
ethics have entered the scene. This volume features ten original
essays on five cutting-edge controversies in bioethics written by
leading philosophers. I. Research Ethics: How Should We Justify
Ancillary Care Duties? II. Clinical Ethics: Are Psychopaths Morally
Accountable? III. Reproductive Ethics: Is There A Solution to the
Non-Identity Problem? IV. Neuroethics: What is Addiction and Does
It Excuse? V. Public Health Ethics: Is Luck Egalitarianism
Implausibly Harsh? S. Matthew Liao and Collin O'Neil's concise
introduction to the essays in the volume, the annotated
bibliographies and study questions for each controversy, and the
supplemental guide to additional current controversies in bioethics
give the reader a broad grasp of the different kinds of challenges
in bioethics.
