Whilst the treatment of mortal remains was largely predetermined in previous generations as an essential part of their respective cultures, the significance of the commandment to respect "dignity" and "piety" has nowadays become more unclear. Modern pluralism makes guidelines of behavior questionable, for example concerning burial, autopsy, or the use of body parts for transplant, scientific or teaching purposes, if this has not been legitimized by the "self-determination right" of the individual. At the same time, the "informed consent" appears as a passepartout for any kind of handling a corpse, even though it may be controversial, as in a commercial public exhibition. The interdisciplinary volume, which resulted from the 2nd Göttinger Symposium of the Center for Medical Law, deals with the wide field of "correct" intercourse with a corpse from the perspective of theology and medicine philosophy, medical law, anatomy and law medicine. Während früheren Generationen der Umgang mit den sterblichen Überresten als essentieller Bestandteil ihrer jeweiligen Kultur weithin vorgegeben war, ist der Bedeutungsgehalt des Gebots zur Achtung von „Würde“ und „Pietät“ heute mehr denn je unklar geworden. Der moderne Pluralismus lässt Verhaltensvorgaben etwa bei der Bestattung, der Obduktion oder der Verwendung von Körperteilen zu Transplantations-, wissenschaftlichen oder Lehrzwecken fragwürdig erscheinen, wenn dies nicht durch das „Selbstbestimmungsrecht“ des Einzelnen legitimiert worden ist. Zugleich erscheint der „informed consent“ als Passepartout für jeden beliebigen Umgang mit Leichnamen, mag er wie bei einer kommerziell geprägten öffentlichen Zurschaustellung gesamtgesellschaftlich auch noch so kontrovers sein. Der interdisziplinäre, aus dem 2. Göttinger Symposium des Zentrums für Medizinrecht hervorgegangene Band behandelt das weite Themenfeld des „richtigen“ Umgangs mit dem Leichnam aus Sicht von Theologie und Medizinphilosophie, von Medizinrecht, Anatomie und Rechtsmedizin.

This open access book addresses a variety of issues relating to bioethics, in order to initiate cross-cultural dialogue. Beginning with the history, it introduces various views on bioethics, based on specific experiences from Japan. It describes how Japan has been confronted with Western bioethics and the ethical issues new to this modern age, and how it has found its foothold as it decides where it stands on these issues. In the last chapter, the author proposes discarding the overarching term ‘Global Bioethics’ in favor of the new term, ‘Bioethics Across the Globe (BAG)’, which carries a more universal connotation. This book serves as an excellent tool to help readers understand a different culture and to initiate deep and genuine global dialogue that incorporates local and global thinking on bioethics. Bioethics Across the Globe is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of bioethics/medical ethics interested in adopting cross-cultural approaches, as well as graduate and undergraduate students of healthcare and philosophy.

This open access book aims to clarify the term „evidence-based medicine“ (EBM) from a philosophy of science perspective. The author, Marie-Caroline Schulte discusses the importance of evi-dence in medical research and practice with a focus on the ethical and methodological prob-lems of EBM. The claims that EBM can herald a new theory of epistemology and a Kuhnian paradigm will be refuted. The solution is to describe EBM as a necessary development in medicine to deal with the increasing amount of evidence and medical data without loosing the single patient out of sight. Contents The methodology of evidence-based research Informed consent and shared decision making in EBM (Evidence-based medicine) Knowledge does not equal evidence – what to do with what we have evidence for? Homeopathy – a case in point why EBM is so important – or „the plural of anecdote is not data.“ Target Groups Lecturers and students in the areas of medicine and philosophy of medicine Researchers in philosophy of medicine, medical doctors, ethicists, philosophers and medical activists The Author M.-C. Schulte has studied philosophy and history in the US and finished her MSc in philoso-phy and history of science at LSE. She did her PhD in philosophy of science, focus on medi-cine, at Hamburg University. She works freelance in an advisory capacity for NGOs working in the medical field and writes articles in her area of expertise.

This republished Special Issue highlights recent and emergent concepts and approaches to water governance that re-centers the political in relation to water-related decision making, use, and management. To do so at once is to focus on diverse ontologies, meanings and values of water, and related contestations regarding its use, or its importance for livelihoods, identity, or place-making. Building on insights from science and technology studies, feminist, and postcolonial approaches, we engage broadly with the ways that water-related decision making is often depoliticized and evacuated of political content or meaning—and to what effect. Key themes that emerged from the contributions include the politics of water infrastructure and insecurity; participatory politics and multi-scalar governance dynamics; politics related to emergent technologies of water (bottled or packaged water, and water desalination); and Indigenous water governance.
