Abstract

Que peut-on prendre du corps pour le consommer à des fins médicales, scientifiques ou personnelles, et dans quelles conditions ? Qui a le droit d'en décider pour la collectivité, en ce temps de profondes mutations de la technologie biomédicale ? C'est cette double question que la bioéthique pose à la sociologie et que l'auteur examine ici. Le contrôle sur la manière dont chacun peut disposer de son corps et de celui d'autrui est alors le fait d'un arbitraire social qui existe au travers des traits sociaux de ceux qui sont chargés de le proférer. À partir d'une enquête attentive rapportant les rhétoriques bioéthiques, notamment celles du Comité consultatif national d'éthique [de la France] aux identités sociales et professionnelles de leurs auteurs se dessine une topographie sociale des gardiens du corps. C'est surtout le savoir professionnel qui autorise ici à parler en nom collectif. D'où des tensions - comment dire scientifiquement la morale? - qui écartent les uns, favorisent les autres, et obligent chacun à participer à l'autolégitimation et au soutien de cette autorité sociale en formation.

Abstract

We all have beliefs, even strong convictions, about what is just and fair in our social arrangements. How should these beliefs and the theories of justice that incorporate them guide our thinking about practical matters of justice? This wide-ranging collection of essays by one of the foremost medical ethicists in the USA explores the claim that justification in ethics, whether of matters of theory or practice, involves achieving coherence between our moral and non-moral beliefs. Amongst the practical issues addressed in the volume are the design of health-care institutions, the distribution of goods between the old and the young, and fairness in hiring and firing. In combining ethical theory and practical ethics this volume will prove especially valuable to philosophers concerned with ethics and applied ethics, political theorists, bioethicists, and others involved in the study of public policy.

Abstract

How should we attempt to resolve concrete bioethical problems? How are we to understand the role of bioethics in the health care system, government, and academe? This collection of original essays raises these and other questions about the nature of bioethics as a discipline. The contributors to the volume discuss various approaches to bioethical thinking and the political and institutional contexts of bioethics, addressing underlying concerns about the purposes of its practice. Included are extended analyses of such important issues as the conduct of clinical trials, euthanasia, justice in health care, the care of children, cosmetic surgery, and reproductive technologies.

Abstract

This collection of essays by theological and religious ethicists challenges the sufficiency of secular bioethics. While acknowledging the importance of procedural considerations in bioethics, the contributors raise fundamental questions about the priority according to the autonomy of persons and the legitimacy of excluding religious reasoning in making medical-moral decisions and public policies. The analyses of theories, practices, concepts and methods reveal inadequacies and weaknesses within secular bioethics, while illustrating the distinctive contributions of theology and faith traditions to bioethics. These essays suggest that the relegation of religion to the margins of bioethics discussions is premature and, perhaps, ill advised. A debate regarding the adequacy of secular bioethics is joined in this collection.

Abstract

Morality and medicine are inextricably intertwined in rural Haiti, and both are shaped by the different local religious traditions, Christian and Vodoun, as well as by biomedical and folk medical practices. When people fall ill, they seek treatment not only from Western doctors but also from herbalists, religious healers and midwives. Dr Brodwin examines the situational logic, the pragmatic decisions, that guide people in making choices when they are faced with illness. He also explains the moral issues that arise in a society where suffering is associated with guilt, but where different, sometimes conflicting, ethical systems coexist. Moreover, he shows how in the crisis of illness people rework religious identities and are forced to address fundamental social and political problems.
