Tombé en désuétude, le mot "eugénisme" est redevenu banal. On parle de "nouvel eugénisme", d'"eugénisme individuel", ou encore d'"eugénisme libéral". Certains l'opposent à l'eugénisme étatique qui a culminé avec l'hygiène raciale des nazis ; d'autres y voient une réalité totalement différente, qui met en jeu des pratiques biomédicales sans précédent et exprime une vision sociale et éthique de la reproduction aux antipodes de l'ancien eugénisme. La question de l'unité, réelle ou fictive, de la notion d'eugénisme est au cœur de ce livre. Pour répondre à cette question, on a d'abord consulté des médecins et biologistes, qui témoignent sur leurs pratiques. Des historiens montrent ensuite que la continuité historique réelle de l'eugénisme dissimule une prodigieuse diversité de pratiques et de valeurs. Enfin, les pratiques eugénistes passées et présentes sont évaluées à la lumière de plusieurs grilles interprétatives : religion, droit, éthique, analyse rhétorique et question du genre. Si tous les auteurs partagent une commune répugnance pour les slogans foncièrement iniques et parfois horrifiants de l'eugénisme traditionnel, ils sont loin de s'accorder sur le sens des pratiques néo-eugénistes. On ne trouvera donc pas ici une convergence éthique bon enfant. Il n'y a pas un mais des eugénismes, qu'on ne peut évaluer qu'en les contextualisant.

Alongside a revival of interest in Thomism in philosophy, scholars have realised its relevance when addressing certain contemporary issues in bioethics. This book offers a rigorous interpretation of Aquinas's metaphysics and ethical thought, and highlights its significance to questions in bioethics. Jason T. Eberl applies Aquinas's views on the seminal topics of human nature and morality to key questions in bioethics at the margins of human life - questions which are currently contested in the academia, politics and the media such as: When does a human person's life begin? How should we define and clinically determine a person's death? Is abortion ever morally permissible? How should we resolve the conflict between the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell research and the lives of human embryos? Does cloning involve a misuse of human ingenuity and technology? What forms of treatment are appropriate for irreversibly comatose patients? How should we care for patients who experience unbearable suffering as they approach the end of life? Thomistic Principles and Bioethics presents a significant philosophical viewpoint which will motivate further dialogue amongst religious and secular arenas of inquiry concerning such complex issues of both individual and public concern.

This book discusses a range of methodological issues for an interdisciplinary bioethics. How can bioethics be an enterprise that does not only isolate issues and moral reasons but also (re)contextualises them? What are the strengths and weaknesses of different traditional and innovative modes of ethical work in terms of these tasks? By introducing the term "finitude" in the sense of limits of human existence, limits of human knowledge and knowledge capacity, a difference was set in the cultural apprehension of medicine. Is medicine aimed at overcoming our existential limits: to fight diseases and prolong life? Finitude reintroduces the existential and cultural basis on which every medicine (limits-sensitive or off-limits medicine) depends, but it concerns also ethical judgment. An apprehension of the limitations of different ethical approaches to biomedicine, however, could strengthen the collaborative effort of an interdisciplinary bioethics that embraces also cultural studies and social sciences.
