What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents' wishes? The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world. In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new "dissensus" framework for future cases of disagreement.

"In many countries, colleges and universities are where the majority of innovative research is done; in all cases, they are where future scientists receive both their initial training and their initial introduction to the norms of scientific conduct regardless of their eventual career paths. Thus, institutions of higher education are particularly relevant to the tasks of education on research with dual use potential, whether for faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, or technical staff. Research in the Life Sciences with Dual Use Potential describes the outcomes of the planning meeting for a two-year project to develop a network of faculty who will be able to teach the challenges of research in the life sciences with dual use potential. Faculty will be able to incorporate such concepts into their teaching and research through exposure to the tenets of responsible conduct of research in active learning teaching methods. This report is intended to provide guidelines for that effort and to be applicable to any country wishing to adopt this educational model that combines principles of active learning and training with attention to norms of responsible science. The potential audiences include a broad array of current and future scientists and the policymakers who develop laws and regulations around issues of dual use"--Publisher's description.

Dass Organe in Unternehmen nach wie vor bei Haftungsfragen im besonderen Fokus stehen, zeigt nicht zuletzt der VW-Abgasskandal. Die zunehmende Inanspruchnahme macht alle Beteiligten unruhig und verlangt guten Rat, den das bereits in zwei Auflagen sehr gut angenommene Handbuch Managerhaftung für jeden Risikobereich bereit hält. Dargestellt wird die Haftung aller Organe in allen Rechtsformen, von der AG und der GmbH über die Genossenschaft und den Verein bis hin zu den in der 3. Auflage nun auch behandelten öffentlichen Unternehmen. Herzstück des Handbuchs sind besonders relevante Risikobereiche - aufgefächert nach Branchen wie Industrieunternehmen oder Kreditinstitute, nach Rechtsgebieten wie Kartellrecht oder Steuerrecht und nach Sachverhalten wie Wettbewerbsverstoß oder Produktverantwortung. Behandelt werden auch prozessuale Fragen, die D&O-Versicherung (in der 3. Auflage weiter ausgebaut) sowie Straftaten und Ordnungswidrigkeiten. Genauer betrachtet werden auch die Möglichkeiten, durch dienstvertragliche - haftungsabmildernde oder -verschärfende - Regelungen im Vorfeld Einfluss zu nehmen. Der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Corporate Social Responsibility wird durch ein neues Kapitel unter Einbeziehung des am 19.4.2017 in Kraft getretenen CSR-Richtlinie-Umsetzungsgesetzes ebenso Rechnung getragen wie den Fragestellungen rund um Internal Investigations.

"This book has a clear concern to offer a distinctive way of studying leadership so that it might be practiced differently. It is distinctive in focusing on contemporary concerns about gender and ethics. More precisely, it examines the masculinity of leadership and how through an embodied form of reasoning, it might be challenged or disrupted. A central argument of the book is that masculine leadership elevates rationality in ways that marginalise the body and feelings and often has the effect of sanctioning unethical behaviour. In exploring this thesis, Leadership, Gender and Ethics: Embodied Reason in Challenging Masculinities provides an analysis of the comparatively neglected issues of identity/anxiety, power/resistance, diversity/gender, and the body/ masculinities surrounding the concept and practice of leadership. It also illustrates the arguments of the book by examining leadership through an empirical examination of academic life, organization change and innovation, and the global financial crisis of 2008. In a postscript, it analyses some examples of masculine leadership in the global pandemic of 2020. This book will be of interest generally to researchers, academics and students in the field of leadership and management and will be of special interest to those who seek to understand the intersections between leadership and gender, ethics and embodied approaches. It will also appeal to those who seek to develop new ways of thinking and theorizing about leadership in terms of identities and insecurities, power and masculinity, ethics and the body. Its insights might not only change studies but also practices of leadership"--
