Abstract

Tous les parents veulent des enfants parfaits à la naissance. Nos outils de diagnostic des malformations sont aujourd'hui particulièrement fiables et précis. Quel contraste avec nos moyens d'action ! Bien souvent, il n'existe en fait qu'un recours : l'avortement thérapeutique. Dans quelles conditions pour la mère et le fœtus ? Comment se prennent les décisions et à qui reviennent-elles ? Quels sont les risques humains et sociaux ? Et surtout quelles alternatives thérapeutiques mettre en place pour sortir de ce dilemme ? " Il nous faut vivre avec nos réalités imparfaites, accepter l'euthanasie fœtale comme une épreuve encore inévitable, en entourant de notre compassion, de notre soutien, de notre sollicitude tous ceux qui s'y soumettent par raison, tous ceux qui s'y refusent par amour.

Abstract

In Abortion and the Ways We Value Human Life, Jeffrey Reiman argues that an overlooked clue to the solution of the moral problem of abortion lies in the unusual way in which we value the lives of individual human beings-namely, that we value them irreplaceably. We think it is not only wrong to kill an innocent child or adult, but that it would not be made right by replacing the dead one with another living one, or even several. Reiman argues that there are only a limited number of facts that could justify such valuing, with the result that human children and adults have the fullest right to protection of their lives, infants have a lesser but substantial right to such protection, and fetuses do not qualify at all. Leading up to this argument, Reiman presents a survey of Western attitudes and laws about abortion from Hammurabi's Code to Roe v. Wade, and a critical analysis of all the major philosophical arguments on the issue, pro and con. The book is written in straightforward, jargon-free language that makes it accessible to college students at all levels and to the educated lay reader as well.

Abstract

The result of a WHO research project, this work examines abortion in the developing world and what happens when it occurs. The editors advocate the legalization of abortion as a first step, but show that true reproductive freedom depends on women's empowerment and quality health care. Of the 20 million unsafe abortions performed each year, 90 per cent occur in the developing world. Even in countries, such as China, where abortion is fully accessible in practice as well as theory, our understanding of the phenomenon is only partial. Using the results of a World Health Organization research project, this book provides information on abortion, why it happens and what happens when it does. There are sections detailing women's perspectives and also chronicling the provider's views and the effect they have on medical provision. Several contributions discuss the relationship between contraception and abortion, while a section on the rising abortion rate among adolescents addresses a newly emerging concern for the programme managers around the world. While the editors put the case for the legalization of abortion as a first step, they show that true reproductive freedom depends on women's empowerment and an acceptable quality of health care.

Abstract

Across a broad range of disciplines -- in medicine, social science, and the humanities -- researchers, scholars, teachers, and administrators increasingly are looking for new ways to approach ethical issues in research with human subjects. Questions about how relationships between funders and researchers should affect research design, for example, or whether the potential benefits of research can outweigh the importance of its subjects' interests are inadequately addressed by the prevailing, regulation-based research ethics paradigm.This book constitutes a reexamination of research ethics. It combines case studies and commentaries by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and researchers to explore such topics as informed consent, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and research on illegal behavior. All human subjects research takes place within complex social, cultural, and political contexts, the contributors argue. Increased consideration of the relationships between researchers and theirsubjects, funders, and institutions within these contexts will facilitate research that is sensitive and responsible as well as scientifically fruitful.

Abstract

Liberty and Sexuality is an account of the legal and political struggles that created the right to privacy and won constitutional protection for a woman's right to choose abortion. Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that established that right, grew out of not only efforts to legalize abortion but also out of earlier battles against statutes that criminalized birth control. In this updated and expanded paperback edition, Garrow also traces the post-Roe evolution of abortion rights battles and the wider struggle for sexual privacy up through the 25th anniversary of Roe in early 1998.
