Abstract

L’évolution de la biologie, l’apparition de technologies nouvelles qui, dans ce domaine, ne cessent de transformer la pratique médicale posent soudain aux hommes des problèmes éthiques que les morales traditionnelles, religieuses ou laïques, ne sont pas capables de résoudre. À la confiance initiale dans les progrès de la science s’est substituée dans l’opinion une sourde inquiétude. Et si toutes ces manipulations autour de la fécondation n’étaient qu’exercices d’apprentis sorciers ? Les questions soulevées sont à ce point cruciales qu’en 1983 un “comité consultatif national d’éthique pour les sciences de la vie et de la santé” a été créé. La crise de la bioéthique n’a pas, pour autant, été résorbée. La question centrale demeure : qu’est-ce que l’homme s’il devient capable de se produire lui-même ? À partir d’une mise à plat des différents codes proposés soit par l’État, soit par l’Église catholique, l’auteur engage une réflexion non seulement sur l’origine et la signification des interdits, sur les confusions qu’ils recouvrent, mais aussi sur le décalage existant entre le volontarisme des biotechnologies et l’involontaire de la vie amoureuse, de la rencontre de l’autre. Il est devenu urgent de dégager les principes permettant d’apprécier d’un point de vue moral des techniques qui agissent sur le corps humain comme sur une chose alors que celui-ci est un attribut essentiel de notre personne.

Abstract

We live in a liberal, democratic, multicultural society where ideally the values of personal liberty and autonomy are paramount. In such a society the state, through the law, should not be concerned with telling people how they should live their lives. In spite of this, many of the ethical stances taken in liberal societies are paternalistic and authoritarian. This readable and balanced book is an original discussion of contemporary issues in bioethics. Max Charlesworth argues that as there can be no public consensus on a set of core values - liberal societies accept a variety of religious, non-religious, political and moral stances - there should be a plurality of ethical stances as well. On this basis he discusses issues such as the ending of human life, the new reproductive technologies and ethical distribution of limited health-care resources, particularly hospital care.

Abstract

Arthur L. Caplan has been an important voice in bioethics for many years. In a great number of essays and articles he has taken on some of the most pressing issues in bioethics today. This book brings his most important work together with new essays on autonomy in nursing homes and on the ethical issues raised by the mapping and sequencing of the human genome. In an introductory essay Caplan updates some of his views and responds to criticisms. Caplan begins with a discussion the nature of work in applied ethics. He rejects the view that those who do bioethics or any other version of applied ethics are merely the servants of moral theoreticians. Next, Caplan examines some of the tough moral questions raised by the use of animals in biomedical research. While not recognizing that animals have rights, he argues for more humane treatment when they are used in scientific research. In a group of essays on human experimentation, Caplan studies such issues as privacy and the obligation to serve as a voluntary subject in medical experimentation. In subsequent essays, he explores the frontiers of medicine in genetics, reproductive technology, and transplantation and reviews the challenges posed to the American health care system as the population grows older. Caplan concludes by confronting the pressing public policy issues of cost containment and rationing. He rejects the view that rationing is the only means available for reducing the escalating costs of health care and suggests strategies that would control costs while affording access to basic medical care for every American.

Abstract

Born in Bologna in 1922, filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most controversial European intellectuals of his time. Pasolini believed the 'authentic' Italy - with its many languages and subcultures, its ancient roots and idiosyncrasies - to be disappearing before his eyes, and he used his films to denounce the social and ideological forces he felt were responsible for this detrimental change. Rather than campaign with overtly political films, however, Pasolini vested ideological impetus in key film characters, many of whom were women.Drawing upon Italy's distinct socio-cultural history as well as feminist and psychoanalytic approaches to film, Colleen Ryan-Scheutz explores the ways in which Pasolini's representations of women reveal his concerns about purity in modern Italian society. Ryan-Scheutz demonstrates how Pasolini used his female figures onscreen to critique the ruling class from a decisively different perspective and propose a range of alternatives to the increasingly sterile and capitalistic world of Italy and the West. Providing a new critical approach to Pasolini studies, Sex, the Self, and the Sacred brings psychoanalytic and feminist theories to bear on the auteur's lifelong poetics and theoretical writings on cinema.

Abstract

The International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (IJFAB) provides a forum within bioethics for feminist thought and debate. Sponsored by the International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, IJFAB includes feminist scholarship on ethical issues related to health, health care, and the biomedical sciences. It aims to demonstrate clearly the necessity and distinctive contributions of feminist scholarship to bioethics and is multidisciplinary and international and is committed to sustaining and expanding the network of scholars in feminist bioethics and exploring how gender intersects with other social determinants of privilege and discrimination.
