Das Buch dokumentiert die Beitrage des internationalen Symposiums
"Assistierter Suizid: Der Stand der Wissenschaft" vom 15. Juni 2015
in Berlin. Es bietet einen einmaligen Uberblick uber die aktuellen
empirischen Untersuchungen zum Thema, die in der politischen
Debatte teilweise schlicht ignoriert wurden und immer noch
ignoriert werden. Es enthalt ausserdem die Transkripte
aufschlussreicher Pro-Contra Debatten zwischen Vertretern
unterschiedlicher Positionen aus den Fachgebieten Recht, Medizin
und Ethik. Am Schluss steht eine ausfuhrliche Kommentierung des
neuen Gesetzes "zur Strafbarkeit der geschaftsmassigen Forderung
der Selbsttotung" aus rechtlicher, medizinischer und ethischer
Perspektive.Die Autoren und Herausgeber sind international
ausgewiesene Experten aus Deutschland und aus anderen Staaten, in
denen die Totung auf Verlangen und/oder der assistierte Suizid
gesetzlich geregelt sind (Niederlande, Schweiz, USA).
This book analyzes the reasons for organ shortage and ventures
innovative ideas for approaching this problem. It presents 29
contributions from a highly interdisciplinary group of world
experts and upcoming professionals in the field. Every year
thousands of patients die while waiting for organ transplantation.
Health authorities, medical professionals and bioethicists
worldwide point to the urgent and yet unsolved problem of organ
shortage, which will be even intensified due to the increasing life
expectancy. Even though the practical problem seems to be well
known, the search for suitable solutions continues and often
restricts itself by being limited through disciplinary and national
borders. Combining philosophical reflection with empirical results,
this volume enables a unique insight in the ethics of organ
transplantation and offers fresh ideas for policymakers, health
care professionals, academics and the general public.

Neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which
allow technical devices to be used with the power of thought or
concentration alone, are no longer a futuristic dream or, depending
on the viewpoint, a nightmare. Moreover, the combination of
neurotechnologies and AI raises a host of pressing problems. Now
that these technologies are about to leave the laboratory and enter
the real world, these problems and implications can and should be
scrutinized. This volume brings together scholars from a wide range
of academic disciplines such as philosophy, law, the social
sciences and neurosciences, and is unique in terms of both its
focus and its methods. The latter vary considerably, and range from
philosophical analysis and phenomenologically inspired descriptions
to legal analysis and socio-empirical research. This diversified
approach allows the book to explore the entire spectrum of
philosophical, normative, legal and empirical dimensions of
intelligent neurotechnologies. Philosophical and legal analyses of
normative problems are complemented by a thorough empirical
assessment of how BCIs and other forms of neurotechnology are being
implemented, and what their measurable implications are. To take a
closer look at specific neurotechnologies, a number of applications
are addressed. Case studies, previously unidentified issues, and
normative insights on these cases complement the rich portrait this
volume provides. Clinicians, philosophers, lawyers, social
scientists and engineers will greatly benefit from the collection
of articles compiled in this book, which will likely become a
standard reference work on the philosophy of intelligent
neurotechnologies.
