Abstract

This textbook offers an introduction to the field of bioethics, specifically from a practicing physician standpoint. It engages a wide range of recent scholarship and emerging research covering many crucial topics in clinical ethics. While there has been increasing attention to the role of bioethics in medicine, the gap between theory and practice still exists, and it continues to impede the dialogue between health care professionals from one side and bioethicists and philosophers of medicine from the other side. This book builds bridges and open channels of connection between different parties in these conversations. It does so from a physician’s practical perspective, engaging recent scholarship and emerging research, to shed light on pivotal ethical dilemmas in contemporary clinical practice.

Abstract

This book provides an in-depth ethical analysis of the right to health care by contrasting privatized with socialized approaches. It pays special attention to how a socialized approach can be implemented in the context of limited resources and offers a way of integrating allocation decisions at the policy level with institutional and hands-on decision-making. It also discusses how the right to health care translates into duties on part of the members of society. In an Appendix, it suggests how, in time of need, the TRIPS Agreement allows countries to side-step patent regulations that would otherwise raise the cost of patented healthcare products beyond what a particular society is able to afford. The book is of interest not only to scholars but also to healthcare policy makers, administrators and healthcare professionals, as well as to patients themselves.

Abstract

Selon certaines opinions, l'intelligence de la foi chrétienne traverserait aujourd'hui une sorte d'exil, de nature à la rendre étrange, voire étrangère, au regard des évolutions de la société et de la culture. C'est ce qui permettrait de comprendre tantôt la tentation de « repli » sur la spiritualité, tantôt le confinement de la pensée chrétienne dans les sphères spécialisées des institutions vouées à la recherche et aux publications scientifiques, ne touchant qu'un public des plus restreints. D'autres estiment au contraire qu'aujourd'hui plus que jamais, l'intelligence de la foi – en philosophie comme en théologie – se doit de relever les défis qui se présentent à elle dans le champ des pratiques sociales. L'articulation entre la foi et la raison resterait bancale sans « raison pratique » efficace, laquelle rend compte du logos de la foi, entendue intelligemment dans la vie sociale, et non à l'écart des réalités et des changements, des passions et des souffrances qui s'y manifestent. Dans une société souvent perçue aujourd'hui comme fragmentée, conflictuelle, voire menaçante, quelles sont les ressources que les « métiers » de théologien (ne) et de philosophe offrent à l'alliance dans la foi chrétienne de son intelligence et de sa pratique ?

Abstract

Ces six exposés, issus d'un Forum Diderot, interrogent la bonne foi de cette discipline relativement nouvelle, la bioéthique, chargée de nous protéger contre les dérives éventuelles des sciences du vivant. La question porte autant sur sa production que sur sa mise en oeuvre. La mauvaise foi, au sens que donnait Jean-Paul Sartre à cette notion, est la capacité de se mentir à soi-même. Les comités, conseils et autres sages ne sont-ils pas dans ce cas-là lorsqu'ils s'affairent à construire des discours vertueux, mais peu réalistes, cachant des vérités désagréables à entendre ? Pour Dominique Memmi, la bioéthique relève de la production de normes : pourquoi les sages s'affirment-ils sans cesse comme de simples penseurs, alors que leurs avis pèsent lourd sur les lois qui sont prises ? Pourquoi, demande à son tour Pierre-Henri Gouyon, la philosophie qui inspire les bioéthiciens devrait-elle continuer à vivre dans la dénéga- tion de la nature biologique de l'homme ? Pourquoi, s'interroge Dominique Thouvenin, les conflits d'intérêt qui entourent la pratique des greffes d'organes devraient-ils être étouffés par le recours à d'incertaines notions, comme le consentement du donneur et l'intérêt du receveur ? On lira enfin le beau texte de J.-P. Thomas, où l'on apprend que la bonne volonté des accompagnateurs de mourants ne va pas sans une certaine mauvaise foi sur ce qu'est, réellement, la mort. Ces textes courts, incisifs et à la portée de tout le monde, soulèvent donc des questions essentielles.

Abstract

In this book, Christian Erk examines the ethical (im)permissibility of killing human beings in general and of selected killings in particular, namely suicide, lethal selfdefence, abortion and euthanasia, as well as organ transplantation and assisted suicide. He does so by addressing a range of important ethical questions: What does it mean to act? Of what elements is an action comprised? What is the difference between a good or evil action and a permissible or impermissible action? How can we determine whether an action is good or evil? Is there a moral duty not to kill? Is this duty held by and against all human beings or only persons? What and who is a person? What is human dignity and who has it? What is it that is actually taken when somebody is killed, i.e. what is life? And closely related to that: What and when is death? By integrating the answers to these questions into an argumentative architecture, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of mankind: Under which conditions, if any, is killing human beings ethically permissible?

Abstract

What is pediatric suffering, and how is the suffering of sick children different from that of sick adults? This book attempts to answer these pressing questions. Through philosophical engagement with a clinical case, the essays in this book approach the problem of pediatric suffering from a set of unique perspectives reflecting diverse philosophical traditions, disciplinary formations, and clinical experiences. Previously published in Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics Volume 41, issue 4, August 2020 Chapter "Valuing life and evaluating suffering in infants with life-limiting illness" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
