Stem Cell Transplantations Between Siblings as Social Phenomena - The Child's Body and Family Decision-making (Hardcover,... Stem Cell Transplantations Between Siblings as Social Phenomena - The Child's Body and Family Decision-making (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Christina Schues, Christoph Rehmann-sutter, Martina Jurgensen, Madeleine Herzog
R1,583 Discovery Miles 15 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This open access book offers insights in short- and long-term experiences from families with bone marrow transplantations between minor siblings. It is based on the first extended qualitative study with 17 families about experiences with recent transplants and experiences with transplants up to 20 years in the past. It covers reflections of donors, recipients and other family members, as well as family interactions. Transplantation of bone marrow from one sibling to another who is ill with a blood cancer (such as Leukemia) is a life-saving therapy. Young children however are not in a position to give consent themselves. How should they be adequately included, depending to their age? Which ethical questions are raised for the parents both at the time of treatment and afterwards, and for the medical professionals in clinical and regulatory contexts? For an in-depth discussion of the findings the books brings together a group of leading scholars from the fields of bioethics, family sociology and philosophy of medicine.

Genetic Responsibility in Germany and Israel - Practices of Prenatal Diagnosis (Paperback): Christina Schues Genetic Responsibility in Germany and Israel - Practices of Prenatal Diagnosis (Paperback)
Christina Schues
R1,047 Discovery Miles 10 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Prenatal diagnosis, especially noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has changed the experience of pregnancy, prenatal care and responsibilities in Israel and Germany in different ways. These differences reflect the countries' historical legacies, medico-legal policies, normative and cultural identities. Building on this observation, the contributors of this book present conversations between leading scholars from Israel and Germany based on an empirical bioethical perspective, analyses about the reshaping of 'life' by biomedicine, and philosophical reflections on socio-cultural claims and epistemic horizons of responsibilities. Practices and discussions of reproductive medicine transform the concepts of responsibility and irresponsibility.

The contributors to this international volume take up questions about a phenomenology of time that begins with and attunes to gender issues. Themes such as feminist conceptions of time, change and becoming, the body and identity, memory and modes of experience, and the relevance of time as a moral and political question, shape Time in Feminist Phenomenology and allow readers to explore connections between feminist philosophy, phenomenology, and time. With its insistence on the importance of gender experience to the experience of time, this volume is a welcome opening to new and critical thinking about being, knowledge, aesthetics, and ethics.

Randzonen Des Willens - Anthropologische Und Ethische Probleme Von Entscheidungen in Grenzsituationen (German, Hardcover):... Randzonen Des Willens - Anthropologische Und Ethische Probleme Von Entscheidungen in Grenzsituationen (German, Hardcover)
Thorsten Moos, Christoph Rehmann-sutter, Christina Schues
R1,965 Discovery Miles 19 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Der Band untersucht anthropologische, psychologische, rechtliche und ethische Probleme des Willenskonzepts. Die Medizin fuhrt Menschen in Grenzsituationen, in denen "ihr Wille" in vielerlei Hinsichten problematisch wird: Kinder sollen in die Durchfuhrung medizinischer Massnahmen einwilligen; Menschen mit Demenz koennen sich zu Therapien manchmal nicht mehr klar aussern; potentielle Teilnehmende einer klinischen Studie sind durch deren Komplexitat uberfordert, sollen aber zustimmen. Der Band fokussiert bewusst Randzonen, in denen nicht klar ist, was ein Wille ist und ob eine Willensausserung vorliegt. An diesen Randbereichen wird besser als in thematischen Kernzonen sichtbar, was Idee und Praxis des Willens leisten und was sie verdecken. Daraus ergeben sich neue Fragen zur Problematik des Entscheidens und der Einwilligung in Grenzsituationen.

Zwischen Wunsch Und Wirklichkeit Einer Egalitaeren Gesellschaft - Die Kritische Rekonstruktion Der Anti-Porn-Debatte Im Horizont Einer Anerkennungstheoretisch Profilierten Diskurstheorie (German, Hardcover)
Christina Schues; Anne Weber
R2,387 Discovery Miles 23 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Wie gefahrdet demokratische Prozesse sind, wurde im Blick auf die soziopolitischen Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre deutlich. Die Autorin nimmt diese Diagnose ernst und erinnert im Horizont Kritischer Theorie an die Ermoeglichungsbedingungen egalitarer Vergesellschaftung. Die problemsensible Rekonstruktion dieser Bedingungen verbindet sich dabei mit der Analyse quantitativ und qualitativ auffalliger Phanomene in der Lebenswelt. Unter feministischen Vorzeichen legt die Autorin den Fokus auf Prasenz und Konsum von Mainstream-Pornographie und die Frage nach der Realitat von Geschlechteregalitat. In diesem Zusammenhang untersucht sie die potentielle Interdependenz von pornographischen Narrativen, der Habitualisierung anerkennungsvergessener Einstellungen und der Veroedung kommunikativer Praxis.

Die Unterscheidung von theoretischer Ethik und angewandter Ethik ist als Antwort auf voellig neue Handlungsoptionen und Entscheidungsdilemmata zu betrachten, die im Zuge des wissenschaftlich-technischen Fortschritts seit der zweiten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts entstanden. Die im Zusammenhang mit dieser Entwicklung auftretenden ethischen Fragen bzw. Probleme erfordern neuartige Loesungsstrategien. Diese koennen nicht mehr ohne weiteres aus den uberlieferten moralischen Prinzipien der traditionellen Moralphilosophie abgeleitet werden. Aus diesem Grunde entstehen neue Herausforderungen fur die Philosophie, denen sich die Autoren dieses Sammelbandes gestellt haben. In den Aufsatzen wird zum einen gezeigt, dass sich dem berechtigten Praktischwerden der Ethik als praktischer Philosophie auch andere Formen Praktizierender Philosophie zuordnen, wie etwa der Bereich der Lebenskunst oder der einer Philosophischen Praxis, zum anderen zeigen die verschiedenen Arbeiten aber auch, dass bei all dem nicht ubersehen werden darf, dass angewandte Ethik keine Sonderethik ist, die unabhangig von der allgemeinen philosophischen Ethik betrieben werden kann.
