Abstract

This book, edited by a team of leading European bioethicists, is in all respects an innovative publication. As part of the core materials project of the European Ethics Network, this book collects European perspectives on health care ethics reflecting both the rich philosophical tradition and the broad interdisciplinary network in the field of European health care ethics. In the first part of the book on the physician-patient relationship, the authors present different views on the integration of patient autonomy in the relational structure of the medical profession. Here, the focus is on the reception of patient autonomy in the European context and on European alternatives for the radical understanding of patient autonomy. In the second part of this book, the contributions deal with the ethical problems of clinical research with patients and with the ethical values involved in human experimentation. In the third part of the book, the just organisation of the health care system and the consequent resource allocation are critically examined. With their common European background, the authors want to enrich and encourage the ongoing discussion on the physician-patient relationship, human experimentation and justice in health care from various perspectives and different points of departure. Therefore, this volume is suitable for the interested reader as well as for educational purposes

Abstract

L'éthique et notamment la bioéthique ont-elles encore un sens aujourd'hui? Alors que l'hémisphère Nord accumule recommandations et réflexions éthiques, le Sud peine à garantir les soins les plus élémentaires à ses populations. La greffe d'un visage qui fait la une de tous nos quotidiens a-t-elle plus d'importance que la rougeole qui tue chaque année des milliers d'enfants africains? Dans ce monde d'égoïsme sauvage, où l'éthique est souvent réduite à une simple étiquette marketing, la médecine, piégée par sa technique instrumentale, prétend rendre aux malades leur dignité, oubliant que le consentement éclairé qu'elle prône n'est souvent qu'une façon d'éluder ses propres responsabilités. Et que dire du principe de précaution brandi par les praticiens comme l'art de la prudence alors que, dans le discours médical, les mots dignité ou solidarité vident chaque jour davantage de leur substance? Pourtant, l'éthique est un concept fondateur; il ne se réduit pas à un slogan. C'est cette dimension que cet essai veut lui restituer; celle non d'une vérité assénée et contingente, mais d'une inquiétude nécessaire et sans fin

Abstract

Les morales traditionnelles sont devenues inopérantes en particulier pour les décideurs politiques. Hans Jonas propose une reformulation de l'éthique autour de l'idée de responsabilité, sous ses différents aspects (naturelle et contractuelle), et voit dans les parents et les hommes d'État deux modèles essentiels ; il discute les idéaux de progrès et les utopies (d'où le titre qui rappelle Le Principe espérance d'Ernst Bloch) et dessine une philosophie de l'" espérance responsable" fondée sur le respect. L'accueil réservé à cette grande œuvre - des philosophes aux décideurs politiques et des pédagogues aux scientifiques - témoigne de l'actualité d'une telle réflexion.

Abstract

This book highlights both the relation between technology and care, and the normative aspects of economic analyses in health care. A series of concrete examples from various clinical fields (prenatal diagnosis, genetic tests, digital imaging in psychiatry, tube feeding in care for the elderly, and palliative sedation) helps the authors to consider how to integrate these technologies in a care context aimed upon humaneness. Each topic is analysed by leading European clinicians and health care ethicists.

Abstract

This volume covers a wide range of conceptual, epistemological and methodological issues in the philosophy of science raised by reflection upon medical science and practice. Several chapters examine such general meta-scientific concepts as discovery, reduction, theories and models, causal inference and scientific realism as they apply to medicine or medical science in particular. Some discuss important concepts specific to medicine (diagnosis, health, disease, brain death). A topic such as evidence, for instance, is examined at a variety of levels, from social mechanisms for guiding evidence-b
