Bioethics de Udo Schüklenk

Bioethics

Editat de Udo Schüklenk, Peter Singer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2021

Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit modul în care această a patra ediție a Bioethics reușește să ancoreze dezbaterea filozofică în realități clinice și sociale imediate, prin studii de caz ce vizează pandemia de COVID-19, utilizarea CRISPR în editarea genetică și dilemele etice ale vaccinării în sănătatea publică. Această ediție revizuită transformă volumul dintr-o simplă antologie într-un instrument de lucru esențial pentru înțelegerea tensiunilor dintre autonomia individuală și binele comun. Apreciem structura riguroasă, organizată pe secțiuni tematice care facilitează o progresie logică de la începutul vieții (avort, screening prenatal) către finalul acesteia (moarte cerebrală, sinucidere asistată). Introducerea a trei secțiuni complet noi — Obiecția de conștiință, Libertatea academică și Dizabilitatea — reflectă maturizarea disciplinei și extinderea ei spre zone de intersecție cu drepturile omului și politica educațională. Comparabil cu Arguing About Bioethics de Stephen Holland în rigurozitate, acest volum se distinge prin actualizarea masivă a conținutului pentru a reflecta schimbările tehnologice și crizele globale din ultimii ani. În contextul operei editorilor, lucrarea completează viziunea pragmatică a lui Peter Singer, cunoscut pentru abordările sale utilitariste, oferind un echilibru prin includerea unor perspective divergente. Dacă în 50 Voices of Disbelief accentul cădea pe secularism, aici Udo Schüklenk și Peter Singer curatoriază un dialog pluralist între eticieni renumiți precum Judith Jarvis Thomson sau Derek Parfit. Rezultatul este un compendiu de peste 900 de pagini care nu doar prezintă teorii, ci analizează implicațiile morale ale deciziilor medicale complexe, de la infanticid la neuroetică.

Descriere

The new edition of the classic collection of key readings in bioethics, fully updated to reflect the latest developments and main issues in the field

For more than two decades, Bioethics: An Anthology has been widely regarded as the definitive single-volume compendium of seminal readings on both traditional and cutting-edge ethical issues in biology and medicine. Acclaimed for its scope and depth of coverage, this landmark work brings together compelling writings by internationally-renowned bioethicist to help readers develop a thorough understanding of the central ideas, critical issues, and current debate in the field.

Now fully revised and updated, the fourth edition contains a wealth of new content on ethical questions and controversies related to the COVID-19 pandemic, advances in CRISPR gene editing technology, physician-assisted death, public health and vaccinations, transgender children, medical aid in dying, the morality of ending the lives of newborns, and much more. Throughout the new edition, carefully selected essays explore a wide range of topics and offer diverse perspectives that underscore the interdisciplinary nature of bioethical study. Edited by two of the field's most respected scholars, Bioethics: An Anthology:

  • Covers an unparalleled range of thematically-organized topics in a single volume
  • Discusses recent high-profile cases, debates, and ethical issues
  • Features three brand-new sections: Conscientious Objection, Academic Freedom and Research, and Disability
  • Contains new essays on topics such as brain death, life and death decisions for the critically ill, experiments on humans and animals, neuroethics, and the use of drugs to ease the pain of unrequited love
  • Includes a detailed index that allows the reader to easily find terms and topics of interest

Bioethics: An Anthology, Fourth Edition remains a must-have resource for all students, lecturers, and researchers studying the ethical implications of the health-related life sciences, and an invaluable reference for doctors, nurses, and other professionals working in health care and the biomedical sciences.
