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

Medical Humanity and Inhumanity in the German-Speaking World is the first volume dedicated to exploring the interface of medicine, the human and the humane in the German-speaking lands. The volume tracks the designation and making through medicine of the human and inhuman, and the humane and inhumane, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Eight individual chapters undertake explorations into ways in which theories and practices of medicine in the German-speaking world have come to define the human, and highlight how such theories and practices have consolidated, or undermined, notions of humane behaviour. Cultural analysis is central to this investigation, foregrounding the reflection, refraction and indeed creation of these theories and practices in literature, life-writing and other discourses and media. Contributors bring to bear perspectives from literary studies, film studies, critical theory, cultural studies, history, and the history of medicine and psychiatry. Thus, this collection is historical in the most expansive sense, for it debates not only what historical accounts bring to our understanding of this topic. It encompasses too investigation of life-writing, documentary, and theory and literary works to bring to light elusive, paradoxical, underexplored - yet vital - issues in history and culture.

Abstract

The idea for Bioethics in Law began more than a decade ago, while I was studying social science and law. I was parti- larly interested in the collaborations that comprised social s- ence in law. Economic and social data in the pioneering Brandeis brief had been used to defend an early 20th-century labor law; surveys of consumer confusion had helped resolve trademark - fringement cases; psychologists’ predictions of future violence had informed capital sentencing decisions. Additionally, Kenneth Clark’s “doll studies,” cited by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education, had helped change the course of American 1 history. During that time, however, I was most intensely interested in bioethics, a relatively young field whose relationships to law had not been well analyzed. I wondered whether there could or should be a bioethics in law, because bioethics, unlike the social sciences, was not only in its infancy, but also had distinctly normative features, which might not mesh easily with law’s own normativity.

Abstract

Medical ethics draws upon methods from a wide array of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, epidemiology, health services research, history, law, medicine, nursing, philosophy, psychology, sociology and theology. In this first book to systematically examine, critique, and challenge some of these disciplines and their methods in light of their influence on medical ethics, leading scholars present particular methods that have played significant roles in the field. The methods addressed include philosophy, religion and theology, professional codes, law, casuistry, history, qualitative research, ethnography, quantitative surveys, experimental methods, and economics and decision science. Reviewing each, they provide descriptions of techniques, critiques, and notes on resources and training. Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are used as an illustration of the richness of multidisciplinary work applied to individual issues. Similarly, genetic testing is used as an example of how multiple descriptive methods may privilege certain findings.

Abstract

From decisions about the end of life to choices about the creation of life and, more recently, questions concerning the cost and accessibility of health care, bioethics is a field characterized by vigorous and sometimes rancorous public debate. Indeed, the moral controversies and dilemmas of medicine and health care often propel bioethics into newspaper headlines and onto television talk shows. Wildes does not focus on moral reactions to controversy, but rather on how we conceive of and define the controversy, and then how we seek a moral course of action. He argues that the methodological issues in bioethics mirror the experience of moral pluralism in a secular society. The different methods that have been used in the field reflect the different moral views found in a pluralistic society. Rather than assume that there is only one method for all or that we are lost in moral pluralism, Wildes argues that we can imagine ourselves instead as moral acquaintances. The key to understanding this acquaintanceship is to understand the procedures that bind us together plus the moral justifications of and assumptions for those procedures.
