Critical Interventions in the Ethics of Healthcare argues that
traditional modes of bioethics are proving incommensurable with
burgeoning biotechnologies and consequently, emerging
subjectivities. Drawn from diverse disciplines, this volume works
toward a new mode of discourse in bioethics, offering a critique of
the current norms and constraints under which Western healthcare
operates. The contributions imagine new, less paternalistic, terms
by which bioethics might proceed - terms that do not resort to
exclusively Western models of liberal humanism or to the logic of
neoliberal economies. It is argued that in this way, we can begin
to develop an ethical vocabulary that does justice to the
challenges of our age. Bringing together theorists, practitioners
and clinicians to present a wide variety of related disciplinary
concerns and perspectives on bioethics, this volume challenges the
underlying assumptions that continue to hold sway in the ethics of
medicine and health sciences.
