"This volume offers a carefully argued, compelling theory of bioethics while eliciting practical implications for a wide array of issues including medical assistance-in-dying, the right to health care, abortion, animal research, and the definition of death. The authors' dual-value theory features mid-level principles, a distinctive model of moral status, a subjective account of well-being, and a cosmopolitan view of global justice. In addition to ethical theory, the book investigates the nature of harm and autonomous action, personal identity theory, and the 'non-identity problem' associated with many procreative decisions. Readers new to particular topics will benefit from helpful introductions, specialists will appreciate in-depth theoretical explorations and a novel take on various practical issues, and all readers will benefit from the book's original synoptic vision of bioethics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

From the time of conception, through the gestation of pregnancy, to the birth of a newborn child exists an extraordinary, emergent ethics. How does this ethics come into being when a child is conceived? How does the appearance of ethics in pregnancy differ from its emergence after birth? How does the original meaning of ethics relate to modern morality in decision making? In this book, Michael van Manen explores these ethical moral complexities and conceptualizations of life's beginnings. He delves into perennial and contemporary aspects of conception, pregnancy, and birth to present ethics as a fundamental phenomenon in the experiential encounter between parent and child. Even in the context of neonatal-perinatal medicine, where all manner of medical technologies and illnesses may potentially complicate the developing relation of parent and child, ethics is always already present yet also enigmatic in its origin. And yet, to approach ethical moral questions, we need to understand the inception of ethics. The Birth of Ethics: Phenomenological Reflections on Life's Beginnings is an essential text not only for health professionals and researchers but also for parents, family members, and others who care and take responsibility for newborns in need of medical care.

Tras algunas décadas de investigación y deliberación rigurosas, la bioética en América Latina -Nuestra América, como la llamó José Martí- está pensando con cabeza y voz propias. Esta investigación teórica intenta explorar los primeros pasos para una fundamentación propedéutica de la bioética latinoamericana o, más bien, de las bioéticas latinoamericanas, que son plurales y diversas. El autor plantea, en primer lugar, una aproximación panorámica a ciertos consensos sobre la historia de la bioética en Nuestra América, su conformación como campo y sus problemas e influencias inaugurales. A continuación, esboza los primeros pasos para una fundamentación propedéutica, acentuando el significado que otorga a pensar "desde" Nuestra América, la importancia de mantener la experiencia de los "márgenes" y las fronteras", y la necesidad de una distancia reflexiva con el eurocentrismo. Por último, intenta un acercamiento a las visiones de algunos movimientos sociales y la academia latinoamericana que contribuyen a una posible fundamentación alternativa de la bioética en Nuestra América.
