For decades, the field of bioethics has shaped the way we think
about ethical problems in science, technology, and medicine. But
its traditional emphasis on individual interests such as
doctor-patient relationships, informed consent, and personal
autonomy is minimally helpful in confronting the social and
political challenges posed by new human biotechnologies such as
assisted reproduction, human genetic modification, and DNA
forensics. Beyond Bioethics addresses these provocative issues from
an emerging standpoint that is attentive to race, gender, class,
disability, privacy, and notions of democracy-a "new biopolitics."
This authoritative volume provides an overview for those grappling
with the profound dilemmas posed by these developments. It brings
together the work of cutting-edge thinkers from diverse fields of
study and public engagement, all of them committed to this new
perspective grounded in social justice and public interest values.
