"This volume offers a carefully argued, compelling theory of bioethics while eliciting practical implications for a wide array of issues including medical assistance-in-dying, the right to health care, abortion, animal research, and the definition of death. The authors' dual-value theory features mid-level principles, a distinctive model of moral status, a subjective account of well-being, and a cosmopolitan view of global justice. In addition to ethical theory, the book investigates the nature of harm and autonomous action, personal identity theory, and the 'non-identity problem' associated with many procreative decisions. Readers new to particular topics will benefit from helpful introductions, specialists will appreciate in-depth theoretical explorations and a novel take on various practical issues, and all readers will benefit from the book's original synoptic vision of bioethics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

This book examines the challenges in bioethics from medical, ethical, legal, and industrial perspectives. A critical exchange of ideas from professionals in interdisciplinary fields allows all people to learn and benefit from their far-reaching insights gained through personal and professional experiences in the fields of medicine and research. Examining these complex issues, ranging from brain-computer interfaces to disabilities in health care to the determination of death to safe injection sites, presents viable paradigms for all healthcare professionals who are being confronted with these issues today and in the future. The more we face these challenges directly, examine them critically, analyze them thoroughly, and debate them enthusiastically the more knowledge will be gained and hopefully more lives will be saved.

Prenatal diagnosis, especially noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has changed the experience of pregnancy, prenatal care and responsibilities in Israel and Germany in different ways. These differences reflect the countries' historical legacies, medico-legal policies, normative and cultural identities. Building on this observation, the contributors of this book present conversations between leading scholars from Israel and Germany based on an empirical bioethical perspective, analyses about the reshaping of 'life' by biomedicine, and philosophical reflections on socio-cultural claims and epistemic horizons of responsibilities. Practices and discussions of reproductive medicine transform the concepts of responsibility, and irresponsibility.

Les innovations technologiques modifient en profondeur la pratique de la médecine et des autres disciplines de la santé. Elles transforment aussi les exigences des malades quant à leur traitement et leur qualité de vie, ainsi que les demandes de leurs proches. Dans ce contexte, les frontières sont souvent brouillées entre ce qui est moralement acceptable et ce qui ne l'est pas. Ce livre s'adresse aux professionnels de la santé et aux membres des comités d'éthique, que leur pratique amène régulièrement à traiter de ces enjeux. À partir de problèmes comme ceux de diagnostic prénatal, de demande d'aide au suicide ou d'alimentation artificielle, Jocelyne Saint-Arnaud établit des repères utiles pour s'y retrouver. Elle se rattache au courant de la bioéthique qu'on appelle l'approche par principes, qui effectue un aller-retour constant des possibilités ouvertes par la technologie aux principes qui devraient les encadrer minimalement.
