Abstract

In Abortion and the Ways We Value Human Life, Jeffrey Reiman argues that an overlooked clue to the solution of the moral problem of abortion lies in the unusual way in which we value the lives of individual human beings-namely, that we value them irreplaceably. We think it is not only wrong to kill an innocent child or adult, but that it would not be made right by replacing the dead one with another living one, or even several. Reiman argues that there are only a limited number of facts that could justify such valuing, with the result that human children and adults have the fullest right to protection of their lives, infants have a lesser but substantial right to such protection, and fetuses do not qualify at all. Leading up to this argument, Reiman presents a survey of Western attitudes and laws about abortion from Hammurabi's Code to Roe v. Wade, and a critical analysis of all the major philosophical arguments on the issue, pro and con. The book is written in straightforward, jargon-free language that makes it accessible to college students at all levels and to the educated lay reader as well.

Abstract

Abortion in Judaism presents a complete Jewish legal history of abortion from the earliest relevant biblical references through the end of the twentieth century. For the first time, almost every Jewish text relevant to the abortion issue is explored in detail. These texts are investigated in historical sequence, thereby elucidating the development inherent within the Jewish approach to abortion. Following the examination of the foundational sources, a range of contemporary responses from across the Jewish spectrum is also introduced in order to probe their place in this history, as well as to discern the directions in which they would have the law proceed. The impact of Jewish abortion law upon Israeli legislative enactments is evaluated, along with the social outcomes of such legislation. Finally, the work considers the insights that this thematic history provides into Jewish ethical principles, as well as into the role of halakhah within Judaism.

Abstract

David Boonin has written the most thorough and detailed case for the moral permissibility of abortion yet published. Critically examining a wide range of arguments that attempt to prove that every human fetus has a right to life, he shows that each of these arguments fails on its own terms. He then explains how even if the fetus does have a right to life, abortion can still be shown to be morally permissible on the critique of abortion's own terms. Finally he considers several pro-life arguments that do not depend on claims that the fetus has a right to life and concludes that these too are ultimately unsuccessful. This major book will be especially helpful to those teaching applied ethics and bioethics in philosophy departments or professional schools of law and medicine. It will interest students of women studies and general readers for whom abortion remains a high-profile issue.

Abstract

Gezondheidszorg is een belangrijke sector in onze maatschappij. Het hoeft dan ook niet te verwonderen dat de overheid veel regels uitvaardigt voor deze sector. De wetteksten willen o.a. meer kwaliteitsvolle zorg garanderen, kostenefficiëntie realiseren en/of Europese regels implementeren. Die reglementering in de gezondheidszorg is evenwel zeer divers en heeft betrekking op verschillende uiteenlopende spelers. Dit wetboek wil dan ook op een overzichtelijke wijze de meest relevante wetteksten uit het Gezondheidsrecht samenbrengen in één themawetboek. Het themawetboek besteedt aandacht aan zowel de rol van de arts en de patiënt alsook aan andere gezondheidsactoren zoals ziekenhuizen, fabrikanten of verdelers van medische hulpmiddelen en van geneesmiddelen, de bevoegde regelgever(s) enz. Het themawetboek omvat regelgeving inzake farmaceutisch recht, patiëntenrechten, medische aansprakelijkheid, ziekenhuiswetgeving, bio-ethiek, privacy in de gezondheidszorg en e-health, en wetgeving inzake medische hulpmiddelen. De akten zijn bijgewerkt tot 1 juni 2010. De grootste vernieuwingen t.a.v. de vorige editie situeren zich voornamelijk op het vlak van: - de ziekenhuiswetgeving: De ziekenhuiswet van 7 augustus 1987 is vervangen door de gecoördineerde wet van 10 juli 2008 betreffende de ziekenhuizen en andere verzorgingsinrichtingen die de vorige wet heeft gecoördineerd wat tot een volledig nieuwe artikelnummering heeft geleid; - de wetgeving voor bepaalde gezondheidszorgberoepen en de medische hulpmiddelen: Het nieuwe K.B. van 21 januari 2009 houdende onderrichtingen voor apothekers dat onder meer de verkoop van geneesmiddelen zonder voorschrift en van sommige medische hulpmiddelen via het internet regelt is in de editie opgenomen; - de aansprakelijkheidsregels: De nieuwe wet van 31 maart 2010 betreffende de vergoeding van schade als gevolg van gezondheidszorg is in de tweede editie opgenomen. - de wetgeving inzake

Abstract

The issue of abortion has sharply divided America. The bitter debate over "Roe v. Wade" - in the courts, legislatures, press and streets - has grown ever more ferocious since the Supreme Court's landmark decision in 1973. For years pro-choicers have applauded "Roe" as a guarantee of women's rights, while pro-lifers have condemned it as the work of an activist and atheistic Court. Now it looms at the centre of a growing political storm, as a new president, and old Court, and a divided Congress reconsider "Roe"'s status in the wake of the controversial 2000 elections. Giving equal attention to both sides of the conflict, the authors trace and analyze the core debates, examine the case's unique history, clarify the jurisprudence behind the Court's ruling, and gauge its impact on American society. Court attempted to steer a middle course by rejecting both abortion on demand and the absolute right to life and yet, in the end, wound up igniting a firestorm of protest instead. The book examines the complete social and legal context of the case.Hull and Hoffer review more than a century of abortion practice (and abuse), common-law views on abortion, 19th-century criminalization measures, and the rapid changes in science, public mores and civil rights that finally brought the issue before the Supreme Court. They also trace abortion law through the 20th century, reprise the 1965 case of "Griswold v. Connecticut", in which the Supreme Court overturned a state law against contraceptives, and reexamine the highly publicized attempts to reverse "Roe" in "Webster v. Reproductive Services" (1989) and "Casey v. Planned Parenthood" (1992). All of the key actors are here: Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" who never actually had the abortion she originally sought; attorney Sarah Weddington, who challenged Texas law by drawing on her own abortion experience; lobbyists on both sides of the question; and each of the Supreme Court justices. This is a book that can inform and enlighten those on either side of the debate, as well as all of those in between.

Abstract

Across a broad range of disciplines -- in medicine, social science, and the humanities -- researchers, scholars, teachers, and administrators increasingly are looking for new ways to approach ethical issues in research with human subjects. Questions about how relationships between funders and researchers should affect research design, for example, or whether the potential benefits of research can outweigh the importance of its subjects' interests are inadequately addressed by the prevailing, regulation-based research ethics paradigm.This book constitutes a reexamination of research ethics. It combines case studies and commentaries by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and researchers to explore such topics as informed consent, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and research on illegal behavior. All human subjects research takes place within complex social, cultural, and political contexts, the contributors argue. Increased consideration of the relationships between researchers and theirsubjects, funders, and institutions within these contexts will facilitate research that is sensitive and responsible as well as scientifically fruitful.
