East Asian medicine, biomedical research, and health care policy
are framed by their own set of moral and cultural commitments.
Chief among these is the influence of Confucian ideas. A rich
portrayal is offered of the implications of Confucian moral and
ontological understandings for medical decision-making, human
embryonic stem cell research, and health care financing. What is
offered is a multifaceted insight into what distinguishes East
Asian bioethical reflections. This volume opens with an exploration
of the Confucian recognition of the family as an entity existing in
its own right and which is not reducible to its members or their
interests. As the essays in this volume show, this recognition of
the family supports a notion of family autonomy that contrasts with
Western individualistic accounts of proper medical decision-making.
