This book presents in detail the problems and ethical challenges in
daily oncological practice. In western industrialized countries,
roughly 25 percent of all citizens still die from cancer. Despite
significant progress in basic science and in individual areas of
clinical care, even in the 21st century, being diagnosed with
cancer has lost none of its dread and can still be a death
sentence. This situation raises many problems and challenges for
medical ethics, e.g., the question of the benefits and risks of
prevention programs, or the right to know and not to know. Clinical
trials with cancer patients and quality assurance for surgery,
radiotherapy and medication also pose a series of ethical dilemmas.
Furthermore, cancer treatment is a psychological challenge not only
for patients but also for physicians and caregivers. The issues of
adequate pain management and good palliative care, of treatment
limiting and the question of assisted suicide at the end of life
also have to be considered. In order to reflect the subject's
diverse and multifaceted nature, the book incorporates legal,
ethnographic, historical and literary perspectives into ethical
considerations.
Das Buch bietet in 24 Kapiteln einen systematischen Einblick in
methodische und thematische Fragen der Medizin- und Bioethik in
Deutschland von 1995 bis 2016. Dieser beginnt mit metaethischen
Aspekten der Relation zwischen Ethik und Moral sowie mit der
keineswegs unproblematischen Facherkombination von Medizinethik und
Medizingeschichte an den deutschen Universitaten. Sodann werden
zentrale bioethische und biopolitische Diskursfelder wie
Stammzellforschung, Praimplantationsdiagnostik, pradiktive Medizin
sowie Sterbehilfe und Transplantationsmedizin eroertert, die
ausnahmslos brisante normative Probleme am Beginn und am Ende des
menschlichen Lebens betreffen. Anders als im derzeitigen
bioethischen "Mainstream" liegt in diesem Buch der Akzent auf der
Betonung des Vorrangs der unantastbaren Wurde des Menschen vor
dessen niemals absolut zu denkender Autonomie.
