Medical ethics draws upon methods from a wide array of disciplines,
including anthropology, economics, epidemiology, health services
research, history, law, medicine, nursing, philosophy, psychology,
sociology, and theology. In this influential book, outstanding
scholars in medical ethics bring these many methods together in one
place to be systematically described, critiqued, and challenged.
Newly revised and updated chapters in this second edition include
philosophy, religion and theology, virtue and professionalism,
casuistry and clinical ethics, law, history, qualitative research,
ethnography, quantitative surveys, experimental methods, and
economics and decision science. This second edition also includes
new chapters on literature and sociology, as well as a second
chapter on philosophy which expands the range of philosophical
methods discussed to include gender ethics, communitarianism, and
discourse ethics. In each of these chapters, contributors provide
descriptions of the methods, critiques, and notes on resources and
training. "Methods in Medical Ethics" is a valuable resource for
scholars, teachers, editors, and students in any of the disciplines
that have contributed to the field. As a textbook and reference for
graduate students and scholars in medical ethics, it offers a rich
understanding of the complexities involved in the rigorous
investigation of moral questions in medical practice and research.
Justice is foundational to discussion, debate, and policy making
surrounding biomedical research. Time-tested for more than 20
years, Beyond Consent examines the concept of justice and its
application to research with human subjects, through multiple
lenses of research populations of people who are sick (including
those needing emergency medical care), cognitively impaired,
children, captive and convenient (such as prisoners), women, racial
minorities, communities, and living in international settings. This
second edition includes new chapters on today's leading-edge topics
as well as updated chapters that consider what has changed, and
what new matters have arisen. The result is a fresh treatment of
the latest issues and concepts of justice in research examined by
multidisciplinary scholars. This volume is a vital resource for
students and scholars of bioethics, medicine, and public health
policy; as well as for members of institutional review boards,
research administrators, and policy makers.
