Abstract

What are the goals of health promotion and the most appropriate means of achieving them? The prevailing view is that these goals are to prolong life and reduce mortality rates. Since the leading causes of morbidity and mortality are now largely attributable to lifestyle behaviors--smoking, diet, exercise, etc.--the means of achieving reductions in heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes and other chronic conditins are to identify more effective techniques for changing people's behavior. Virtually all health promotion research is currently directed towards accomplishing this objective. But at what cost? As researchers strive for more effective ways to change people's behavior, what are the implications for individual autonomy, integrity, and responsibility? Buchanan sets out to explain why a science of health promotion is neither imminent or estimable. He argues that health promotin is inescapably a moral and political endeavor and that goals more befitting the realization of human well-being are to promote self-knowledge, individual autonomy, integrity, and responsibility through putting into practice more democratic processes of self-direction and mutual support in civil society.

Abstract

This work addresses the moral, social and political problems emerging from the practice of healing and caring, biomedical research and the provision of health care services. The primary aim of many professional bioethicists is, of late, to solve as efficiently as possible, the problems encountered by health care providers and scientists in clinical, laboratory and administrative settings. Seen from the viewpoint of applied philosophy however, this is a dangerous tendency if the grounds for the suggested solutions are not properly examined. Even choices which are harmless and seem to involve no immoralities can be directly hazardous if those making choices appeal to dubious ethical principles or inaccurate data. This is why the book is dedicated to the examination of the reasons that people can and should have for their health-care related decisions as well as to the formulation of good solutions to difficult problems. It covers criteria in life and death situations, voluntary euthanasia and medical paternalism, wrongful medical authoritarianism, health education, preventive medicine and the welfare of the population, AIDS, discrimination and legal restrictions, and health-care policy-making.

Abstract

Donner, recevoir un organe. Quoi de plus simple a priori ! Quoi de plus beau, mais quel challenge ! La transplantation relève d'une révolution thérapeutique qui continue d'évoluer à grands pas. Elle peut permettre de vrais " miracles ". En même temps, ces gestes ne manquent pas de complexité. L'organe, objet du don, n'est pas une pièce mécanique qu'il suffirait de prendre et de reposer ailleurs, bien que certains préfèrent le penser ainsi. Le prélèvement touche à l'intégrité du corps, que le donneur soit décédé ou vivant. Quant à la greffe, elle passe par une intrusion dans les profondeurs du corps humain, réveillant le plus archaïque du développement, quand se joue la structuration de l'identité de la personne. Donner, recevoir un organe, n'est donc pas anodin et requiert des précautions certes médicales, mais également éthiques. Les auteurs du présent ouvrage explorent non seulement les progrès récents du don et de l'accueil d'organes humains, mais aussi ses enjeux psychologiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques, économiques, religieux... Se trouvent ici réunis aussi bien des témoins, des membres d'associations, que des médecins et des experts de nombreuses disciplines - examinant non seulement les résultats positifs mais aussi les inconvénients, les aléas et les dérives. Mais autour de la " transmission de vie ", selon l'expression de Jean-Luc Nancy, il faut oser une parole résolument juste.
