This book explores, through case studies, the interplay between
religion, culture, government, and politics in diverse societies on
questions arising in the domain of bioethics. The case studies draw
from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including history,
theology, law, bioethics, public policy, science, and medicine. The
text's global perspective permits a comparison of the differing
approaches adopted by countries facing similar bioethical
quandaries and the extent to which religion has or has not been
instrumental in addressing such dilemmas. Secular and religious
societies across the globe are being confronted with complex
questions involving religious belief and the extent to which
specific religious perspectives have in the past or should in the
future be adopted as official policy. Bioethical issues involving
the interplay of religion and government have become particularly
notable in recent years. How these issues are resolved has major
implications for individuals, healthcare providers, and the future
of medical research and medical care. Topics explored among the
chapters include: Homosexuality: Sin, Crime, Pathology, Identity,
Behavior Medical Error: Truthtelling, Apology, and Forgiveness
Refusal of Medical Treatment Medical Deportation Case Study:
Nazism, Religion, and Human Experimentation The New Frontier:
Cloning Case Studies in Society, Religion, and Bioethics will find
an engaged audience among researchers and scholars in history,
religion/theology, medicine, and bioethics interested in the
influence of religion on bioethical decision-making.
Students-particularly upper-level undergraduate and graduate
students interested in bioethics, humanities, and theology-will
find the text helpful in understanding the processes through which
religion may serve as a basis for both societal policy and law and
individual decision-making in health-related matters.
