Should parents aim to make their children as normal as possible to
increase their chances to "fit in"? Are neurological and mental
health conditions a part of children's identity and if so, should
parents aim to remove or treat these? Should they aim to instill
self-control in their children? Should prospective parents take
steps to insure that, of all the children they could have, they
choose the ones with the best likely start in life? This volume
explores all of these questions and more. Against the background of
recent findings and expected advances in neuroscience and genetics,
the extent and limits of parental responsibility are increasingly
unclear. Awareness of the effects of parental choices on children's
wellbeing, as well as evolving norms about the moral status of
children, have further increased expectations from (prospective)
parents to take up and act on their changing responsibilities. The
contributors discuss conceptual issues such as the meaning and
sources of moral responsibility, normality, treatment, and
identity. They also explore more practical issues such as how
responsibility for children is practiced in Yoruba culture in
Nigeria or how parents and health professionals in Belgium perceive
the dilemmas generated by prenatal diagnosis.
This open access collection brings together a team of leading
scholars and rising stars to consider what experimental philosophy
of medicine is and can be. While experimental philosophy of science
is an established field, attempts to tackle issues in philosophy of
medicine from an experimental angle are still surprisingly scarce.
A team of interdisciplinary scholars demonstrate how we can make
progress by integrating a variety of methods from experimental
philosophy, including experiments, sociological surveys,
simulations, as well as history and philosophy of science, in order
to yield meaningful results about the core questions in medicine.
They focus on concepts central to philosophy of medicine and
medical practice, such as death, pain, disease and disorder,
advance directives, medical explanation, disability and informed
consent. Presenting empirical findings and providing a crucial
foundation for future work in this dynamic field, this collection
explores new ways for philosophers to cooperate with scientists and
reveals the value of these collaborations for both philosophy and
medicine. The eBook editions of this book are available open access
under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open
access was funded by the European Research Council Starting Grant.
