This book engages a debate on the ethics of care that evolves around the phenomenon of goodness without acknowledgment. Central to this investigation are care relations from a position that critically revaluates the intricate issues for the ethics of care: altruism and self-sacrifice, selflessness of care and lack of recognition. The inquiry opens a new perspective on self-sacrifice by drawing on the responsive phenomenology of Bernhard Waldenfels. Interpreting his description of the relationship between self and Other and the experience of otherness changes our view of the ways in which we are connected with each other and of the reasons why we respect and care for each other to a point at which the self is at risk. This new approach is well-placed to strengthen both the ideal and the recognition of self-less care. By bringing together intense debates in care ethics and responsive phenomenology, Susanne Pohlmann profoundly enriches the ethics of care and its related discussions.0.

This open access book offers insights in short- and long-term experiences from families with bone marrow transplantations between minor siblings. It is based on the first extended qualitative study with 17 families about experiences with recent transplants and experiences with transplants up to 20 years in the past. It covers reflections of donors, recipients and other family members, as well as family interactions. Transplantation of bone marrow from one sibling to another who is ill with a blood cancer (such as Leukemia) is a life-saving therapy. Young children however are not in a position to give consent themselves. How should they be adequately included, depending to their age? Which ethical questions are raised for the parents both at the time of treatment and afterwards, and for the medical professionals in clinical and regulatory contexts? For an in-depth discussion of the findings the books brings together a group of leading scholars from the fields of bioethics, family sociology and philosophy of medicine.
