Abstract

Hello Dolly! beschrijft waarom klonering de toekomst is. De 21ste eeuw zal zich als de eeuw van de biotechnologie manifesteren, in eerste instantie in de geneeskunde, de milieuzorg en de landbouw. Eigenlijk is deze eeuw al begonnen met Dolly en Polly. Als deze resultaten betrouwbaar gereproduceerd worden, staan ons een hele reeks fantastische ontwikkelingen te wachten. Gekweekt vee is dan nog maar een begin. Want meer en meer zal zich de noodzaak stellen gentechnologisch in te grijpen.

Abstract

The Supreme Court in America has ruled that states may prohibit physician-assisted suicide. This text assembles experts in the field of medical ethics to provide an account of the arguments for and against physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, and for the historical, empirical and legal perspectives on this complicated issue. Questions are addressed here including: what does mercy dictate?; is it a justification for killing?; does physician-assisted suicide honour or violate autonomy?; is it more dignified than natural death?; is this decision purely a private matter;? and will legalizing physician-assisted suicide put us on a slippery slop toward involuntary euthanasia? This text analyzes data taken from Holland, in an attempt to learn from the only country in which physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are legal.

Abstract

In this book, leading scholars investigate the difficult ethical, legal, and policy issues that surround egg donation and the new reproductive technologies as a whole. Of special interest are feminist inquiries into perceptions of women involved in egg donation; the effects of race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status on the uses of such technologies; and moral and theological questions about whether third-party gamete donation should be used at all. In addition, the book describes procedures at four egg-donation centers in the United States, including private for-profit and university-based non-profit programs, and presents a new set of guidelines from the National Advisory Board on Ethics in Reproduction (NABER), a panel in the private sector with members from the fields of ethics, theology, law, medicine, genetics, and public policy.

Abstract

The moral issues involved in doctors assisting patients to die with dignity are of absolutely central concern to the medical profession, ethicists, and the public at large. The debate is fuelled by cases that extend far beyond passive euthanasia to the active consideration of killing by physicians. The need for a sophisticated but lucid exposition of the two sides of the argument is now urgent. This book supplies that need. Two prominent philosophers, Gerald Dworkin and R. G. Frey present the case for legalization of physician-assisted suicide. One of the best-known ethicists in the US, Sissela Bok, argues the case against.

Abstract

Comment répondre de nos actes lorsque l’on ne peut plus se contenter d’obéir à une instance supérieure qui saurait à notre place ce qu’il faut faire ? De nos jours, l’éthique se formule par rapport aux nouvelles exigences de la société démocratique qui considère que chaque individu est un sujet libre et que nous sommes égaux en droit. Elle se confronte aussi quotidiennement aux nouvelles possibilités de la science et de la technique qui semblent parfois mettre en péril le respect de l’être humain et sa liberté. De Kant à Rawls, cet ouvrage présente les principales conceptions contemporaines de la pensée éthique. Autour de la question du corps et de celle du psychisme, il en analyse la mise en pratique.
