Deadpool is the super-anti-hero who knows he's in a comic book. His
unique situation and blood-stained history give rise to many
philosophical puzzles. A group of philosophical Deadpool fans delve
into these puzzles in Deadpool and Philosophy. For instance, if you
know that someone is writing the script of your life, can you
really be a hero? Is Deadpool really Wade Wilson, or did Wilson
have his identity stolen by the monster who is now Deadpool? Are
his actions predetermined by the writers, or does he trick the
writers into scripting his choices? And what happens when Deadpool
breaks into the real world to kill the writers? What kind of
existence do literary characters have? How can we call him a moral
agent for good when he still commits murder left and right and then
left again and then right? Since Deadpool gets paid for his good
deeds, can they be truly heroic? And which of the many Deadpool
personalities are the real Deadpool? And of course, why does
Deadpool love to annoy Wolverine so much? Deadpool challenges us to
think outside the box. Deadpool and Philosophy shows us the
profound implications of this most contradictory and perplexing
comic book character.
Issues concerning patients' rights are at the center of
bioethics, but the political basis for these rights has rarely been
examined. In "Bioethics in a Liberal Society: The Political
Framework of Bioethics Decision Making," Thomas May offers a
compelling analysis of how the political context of liberal
constitutional democracy shapes the rights and obligations of both
patients and health care professionals. May focuses on how a key
feature of liberal society--namely, an individual's right to make
independent decisions--has an impact on the most important
relational facets of health care, such as patients' autonomy and
professionals' rights of conscience.
Although a liberal political framework protects individual
judgments, May asserts that this right is based on the assumption
of an individual's competency to make sound decisions. May uses
case studies to examine society's approach to medical decision
making when, for reasons ranging from age to severe mental
disorder, a person lacks sufficient competency to make independent
and fully informed choices. To protect the autonomy of these
vulnerable patients, May emphasizes the need for health care ethics
committees and ethics consultants to help guide the decision-making
process in clinical settings. "Bioethics in a Liberal Society" is
essential reading for all those interested in understanding how
bioethics is practiced within our society.
