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.
A collection celebrating some of the best essays from the Blackwell
journals, "Bioethics "and "Developing World Bioethics."
Contributors include Helga Kuhse, Michael Selgelid and Baroness
Mary Warnock, former Chair of the British Government's "Committee
of Inquiry into Human Fertilization and Embryology's."
Traces some of the most important concerns of the 1980s, such as
the ethics of euthanasia, reproductive technologies, the allocation
of scarce medical resources, surrogate motherhood, through to a
range of new issues debated today, particularly in the field of
genetics.
Includes contributions that are still as hotly debated today as
they were 20 years ago and serves as a salutary reminder that free
and open discussion is vital to the health of the discipline
itself.
Includes eight sections comprising some of the journals' best
publications in methodological issues, the health care
professional-patient relationship, public health ethics, research
ethics, genetics, as well as beginning- and end-of-life issues.
Will serve the academic bioethicists as well as students of
bioethics as an excellent source book.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1905 Edition.
The Europiiische Akademie is concerned with the study of scientific
and technolog ical advances for the individual, society and the
natural environment. The work of the academy is interdisciplinary
drawing on relevant academic disciplines so far as they can inform
the debate on consequences and suggest solutions. This book is
dedicated to the issue of Functional Foods, a rather topical issue
with important ramifications for the overall quality of life. It is
the result of the Europiiische Akademie's working group "Functional
Foods" which worked from January 2001 to June 2003. Since the times
of Hippocrates, we view "food as our medicine, and medicine as our
food"; a view that is confirmed by nowadays science which agrees
that diet is related to health, well-being and the prevention of
disease. At the same time, food related diseases have reached
epidemic proportions in western societies while obe sity is
spreading rapidly in all parts and strata of modern society. The
cost for the health system is significant while the reduction in
quality of life is immeasurable."
