Abstract

C'est souvent à partir de situations exceptionnelles et dramatiques que la question de la propriété du corps humain se trouve posée dans nos sociétés, que l'on songe aux débats relatifs à l'euthanasie. Dans ce contexte, les juristes mais aussi les philosophes et les hommes politiques se voient reprocher d'être toujours en retard par rapport aux avancées des pratiques médicales. Les outils manqueraient aux citoyens pour comprendre et mesurer l'importance de ce qui se joue dans les décisions qu'ils ont à prendre tout au long de leur vie, au sujet de leur corps ou des corps de ceux qui leur sont proches. L'histoire des pratiques médicales, celle de nos traditions religieuses, politiques, et philosophiques, l'examen des doctrines juridiques et des concepts qu'elles proposent pour définir le statut du corps humain, la prise en compte enfin des théories de la justice permettent pourtant de constater que nous sommes loin d'être démunis pour penser le statut du corps dans nos sociétés. Cette voie rend possible une véritable confrontation entre les différentes positions et revendications exprimées à propos de la propriété du corps, en lieu et place du dialogue de sourds auquel nous assistons trop souvent.

Abstract

At the onset of Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity, Leon Kass gives us a status report on where we stand today: "Human nature itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for eugenic and psychic 'enhancement,' for wholesale redesign. In leading laboratories, academic and industrial, new creators are confidently amassing their powers and quietly honing their skills. For anyone who cares about preserving our humanity, the time has come for paying attention." Trained as a medical doctor and biochemist, Dr. Kass has become one of our most provocative thinkers on bioethical issues. In Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity, he has written a book that grapples with the moral meaning of the new biomedical technologies now threatening to take us back to the future envisioned by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World. In a series of mediations on cloning, embryo research, the sale of organs, and the assault on mortality itself, Kass questions the wisdom of trying to break down the natural boundaries given us and to remake the human body into an instrument of our will. He also attempts to chart a course by which we might avoid the dehumanization of biotechnical "recreationism" without rejecting modern science or rejecting its genuine contributions to human welfare. Leon Kass writes profoundly about the limits of science and the limits of life, about what makes us human and gives us human dignity. Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity.

Abstract

Deborah Marks examines current theories and practices relating to disability. The focus of the work is not disabled people as 'objects' of study but rather an analysis of disability as it has been historically and culturally constructed and psychically experienced. The chapters cover:* language and discourse* the disabled people's movement* the 'disability' professions* public policy* unconscious investments and interpersonal relationships* knowledge and the politics of disability. This text will be essential reading for students on the growing number of Disability Studies courses, as well as students, policy-makers and professionals in social policy, social work, cultural studies and nursing.
