This book assists health care providers to understand the specific
interplay of the roles and relationships currently forming the
debates in pediatric clinical ethics. It builds on the fact that,
unlike adult medical ethics, pediatric ethics begins within an
acutely and powerfully experienced dynamic of
patient-family-state-physician relationship. The book provides a
unique perspective as it interacts with established approaches as
well as recent developments in pediatric ethics theory, and then
explores these developments further through cases. The book first
focuses on setting the stage by introducing a theoretical framework
and elaborating how pediatric ethics differ from non-pediatric
ethics. It approaches different theoretical frameworks in a
critical manner drawing on their strengths and weaknesses. It helps
the reader in developing an ability to engage in ethical reasoning
and moral deliberation in order to focus on the wellbeing of the
child as the main participant in the ethical deliberation, as well
as to be able to identify the child's moral claims. The second
section of the book focuses on the practical application of these
theoretical frameworks and discusses specific areas pertaining to
decision-making. These are: the critically ill child, new and
enduring ethical controversies, and social justice at large, the
latter of which includes looking at the child's place in society,
access to healthcare, social determinants of health, and
vaccinations. With the dynamic changes and challenges pediatric
care faces across the globe, as well as the changing face of new
technologies, no professional working in the field of pediatrics
can afford not to take due note of this resource.
This book gives a voice to debates surrounding social science
research ethics in Africa and brings them together in a coherent
form to assist readers in being at the forefront of the
discussions. The book gives an overview of the importance of
research ethics in social sciences, as well as articulating the
African influence on the subject matter. Subsequently it looks into
specific frameworks and tools that researchers can apply in the
process of doing research. Last but not least it also takes an
in-depth look at traditional ethical issues pertaining to research
in social sciences, through the lens of the African continent. This
is the first book on social science research ethics in an African
context and an indispensable resource for researchers, students,
policy makers and research institutions in or interested in African
research ethics.
