This bioethics handbook offers concise, up-to-date, and easy to read chapters on a broad range of bioethical topics in the following categories: foundational concepts, theory and method, healthcare ethics, research ethics, public health, technology, and the environment.The volume provides a snapshot of current bioethics, taking into account current affairs and emerging new topics. Each chapter acknowledges and critically breaks down the historical developments of the subject and the most authoritative existing literature on respective topics, providing accessible and up-to-date philosophical analysis. As such, the chapters are designed to be attractive as primary or supplementary teaching material for university classes of the philosophical or bioethical variety, with clear demarcations and indicators for key terms, ideas, and arguments that should also facilitate productive note-taking and points for critical discussion for students. The handbook also serves as a one-stop starting resource for multi- and interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners who engage with bioethics in their work.

Recensioner i media

The first formal use of the term bioethics to distinguish the ethical relationships between humans and other living organisms is attributed to Fritz Jahr in 1927. Rapid growth in biomedical discoveries and medical treatments since then greatly increased the complexity and scope of bioethics. This book edited by Di Nucci, Lee, and Wagner thoroughly examines past and contemporary bioethics assumptions and applications. Each chapter is authored by an unbiased expert on a particular set of viewpoints and situations. Much of the ethics coverage focuses on medical ethics, health care, and human subject research, but the book concludes with chapters on bioethics in the context of environmental sciences and animal experimentation. Chapters include ample citations. Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. Students in two-year technical programs.
