Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers a set of reflections on the ethics of care in full articulation with some of the most pressing issues of our time. Several themes are analyzed, such as medical care, self-care, justice, economics, politics, and technology. All of them, however, are permeated and united by a common philosophical purpose, namely: an ethics of care not only allows the conception of behavioral relationships and human values but also puts into play the theoretical foundations of ethics itself. It is in this sense that the ethics of care proposed in this volume can be considered metaethics. Since they present multidisciplinary contents and concepts, the chapters of this volume are relevant theoretical tools for researchers, professors, and students, as well as specialized caregivers, who want to deepen the new theoretical and practical implications of care in contemporary society.

This book tackles complex global issues like vaccination, climate change, environmental ethics, embryo adoption, and surrogate motherhood viewed from the perspective of the global south. The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for addressing bioethical issues on a global scale, beyond national and regional boundaries. Challenges highlighted in the book include cultural differences, multi-pluralism, insufficient funding, and limited opportunities for awareness and provision of education in global bioethics, particularly in low and middle-income countries. The book employs universal and global bioethics frameworks, referencing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. These documents, along with other international agreements and national constitutions were used to advocate for human dignity, health, and fundamental freedoms. Contributions from authors in Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria provide valuable perspectives, making this book a must-read for ethicists, bioethicists, medical students, and healthcare workers with an interest in global bioethics.

Ethics for One Health Approaches: A Roadmap for Future Directions
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 217 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book discusses how bioethics can be advanced and expanded. It explores the possibility to find an approach to bioethics that covers all One Health approaches, i.e. One Health, EcoHealth, Planetary Health or One Welfare, each with their holistic and diverse perspectives. Although some attempts exist to find such an ethics of One Health, this is still very much novel ground. From an analysis of the nature of scientific aims and goals of One Health approaches, this book describes and expands on the variety of ethical issues that emerge in this context. Analyzing previous attempts to establish an ethics of One Health, this book shows that the complexity is greater than what is sometimes suggested. Some issues might be solved using a more traditional perspective on bioethics but other issues need a new take on bioethics. This book analyses what is needed for a pluralistic ethics that covers different species – humans, animals, plants – as well as different levels – individual, population, ecosystem. It discusses whether it is possible to find a bridge between versions of anthropocentric, zoocentric, biocentric and ecocentric ethics. Also, due to the trans- and interdisciplinary nature of One Health approaches, it discusses how this ethical framework will relate to different value and ethical systems around the globe. As a result, this book is a roadmap for future discussions and research in this emerging field, proposing an ethical framework for One Health approaches.

The UNESCO International Bioethics Committee is an international body that sets standards in the field of bioethics. This collection represents the contributions of the IBC to global bioethics. The IBC is a body of 36 independent experts that follows progress in the life sciences and its applications in order to ensure respect for human dignity and freedom. Currently, some of the topics of the IBC contributions have been discussed in the bioethics literature, mostly journal articles. However, this is a unique contribution by the scholars who developed these universal declarations and reports. The contributors have not only provided a scholarly up to date discussion of their research topics, but as members of the IBC they have also discussed specific practical challenges in the development of such international documents. This book will be suited to academics within bioethics, health care policy and international law.

Religious Perspectives on Bioethics and Human Rights
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book deals with the thorny issue of human rights in different cultures and religions, especially in the light of bioethical issues. In this book, experts from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism and Confucianism discuss the tension between their religious traditions and the claim of universality of human rights. The East-West contrast is particularly evident with regards to human rights. Some writers find the human rights language too individualistic and it is foreign to major religions where the self does not exist in isolation, but is normally immersed in a web of relations and duties towards family, friends, religion community, and society. Is the human rights discourse a predominantly Western liberal ideal, which in bioethics is translated to mean autonomy and free choice? In today’s democratic societies, laws have been drafted to protect individuals and communities against slavery, discrimination, torture or genocide. Yet, it appears unclear at whatmoment universal rights supersede respect for cultural diversity and pluralism. This collection of articles demonstrates a rich spectrum of positions among different religions, as they confront the ever more pressing issues of bioethics and human rights in the modern world. This book is intended for those interested in the contemporary debates on religious ethics, human rights, bioethics, cultural diversity and multiculturalism.

Post-Trial Access to Drugs in Developing Nations
Global Health Justice
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
541 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book begins the discourse on post-trial access to drugs in developing countries. Underlying ethical issues in global health inequalities and global health research serve as the context of the debate. Due to rampant allegations of violations of rights of research participants, especially in developing countries, it discusses the regulatory infrastructure and ethical oversight of international clinical research, thus emphasizing the priority of safeguarding the rights of research participants and host populations as desiderata in conducting clinical trials in developing countries. This is the first book that analyzes the major obstacles of affordable access to drugs in developing countries – patent and non-patent factors and how they can be overcome through a middle ground approach and a new paradigm to establish global health justice which includes national and global health responsibilities. The book also deals extensively with all complex aspects of the discourse on affordableaccess to drugs in developing countries, including intellectual property law, international regulations, political and cultural systems, international trade agreements. Furthermore it contains a robust ethical debate and in-depth analysis. The book crafts a paradigm of global health justice involving a sliding scale of national and global responsibilities for the realization of the right to health in general and access to drugs in particular.

Bioethics and Biopolitics
Theories, Applications and Connections
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 182 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume links three different theoretical approaches that have a common focus on the relationship between biopolitics and bioethics. This collection of papers can be categorized into different domains that are representative of the contemporary usage of biopolitics as a concept. On the one hand, several chapters develop a clear and up-to-date understanding of the primary sources of the concept and related theories of Agamben, Negri or Foucault and approach the question of relevance within the field of bioethics. Another group of papers apply the philosophical concepts and theories of biopolitics (biopower, Homo Sacer, biocitizenship) on very specific currently debated bioethical issues. Some scholars rely on the more mundane understanding of (bio)politics and investigate how its relationship with bioethics could be philosophically conceptualized. Additionally, this work also contains papers that follow a more legally oriented analysis on the effects of contemporary biopolitics on human rights and European law. The authors are philosophers, legal scholars or bioethicists. The major strength of this volume is to provide the reader with major insights and orientation in these different contemporary usages of the concept and theories of biopolitics, within the context of its various ethically relevant applications.
