Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book discusses ethical questions surrounding research and innovation in military and humanitarian contexts. It focuses on human enhancement in the military. Recently, the availability of medical enhancement designed to make soldiers more capable of surviving during conflict, as well as enabling them to defeat their enemies, has emerged. Innovation and medical research in military and humanitarian contexts may thus yield positive effects, but simultaneously leads to a number of highly problematic ethical issues. The work contains contributions on medical ethics that take into account the specific roles and obligations of military and humanitarian health care providers and the ethical problems they encounter. They cover different aspects of research and innovation such as vaccine development, medical enhancement, compassionate and experimental drug use, research and application of new technologies such as wearables, “Humanitarian innovation” to cope with scarce resources, Biometrics, big data, etc.The book is of interest and importance to researchers and policy makers involved with human enhancement, medical research, and innovation in military and humanitarian missions.

This book sheds light on various ethical challenges military and humanitarian health care personnel (HCP) face while working in adverse conditions. Hence, the provision of health care has to adapt, for example, to a different level of risk, to scarce resources, or uncommon approaches due to external incentives or requirements.

This book focuses on resource allocation in military and humanitarian medicine during times of scarcity and austerity. It is in these times that health systems bend, break, and even collapse and where resource allocation becomes a paramount concern and directly impacts clinical decision-making. Such times are challenging and this book covers this very important, yet, scarcely researched topic within the field of bioethics. This work brings together experts and practitioners in the fields of military health care, philosophy, ethics, and other disciplines to provide analysis on a variety of related topics ranging from case studies and first-hand experiences to policy and philosophical analysis. It is of great interest to to academics, practitioners, policy makers and students who are looking for analyses and guidance regarding the fair provision of medical care and the use of medical rules of eligibility under adverse conditions.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book analyzes the challenges and ethical dilemmas military physicians and nurses experienced while deployed on military operations—and how they dealt with them. It traces the developments during the deployment of medical personnel within the Dutch armed forces between 1990 and 2010. Throughout this time, medical personnel were confronted with anything from a scarcity of supplies to military hierarchy, factors that potentially threatened their medical standards as well as their professional autonomy. They had to navigate between differing expectations, priorities, and moral codes of the medical and the military profession.This book makes an original and indispensable contribution to academic debates on medical personnel in the armed forces and dual loyalty, ethical decision-making processes, moral competence, and the salience of (professional) identity in the role of perception, decision-making and coping, both during and after deployment. The target audience for this book is primarily academics working in the social sciences, humanities, medicine, and ethics. Military and medical practitioners, policymakers, NGOs, and educational institutions may use the book’s findings for policy and educational purposes.

Artificial Intelligence Ethics in Military Medicine and Humanitarian Healthcare

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This is the first book to examine the rising use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data in military and humanitarian healthcare, including the use of AI for diagnostic assistants, robotic surgery, and the general practice of medicine itself. Although AI and Big Data may simplify and improve a wide range of healthcare processes and procedures in very difficult situations, their use also raises a number of significant ethical challenges and dilemmas. These challenges are addressed for the first time in the contributions of this book, which derive from a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary forum on the topic held at Jongny, Switzerland in June 2024. The resulting volume offers the first and most authoritative examination of the use of AI for military and humanitarian healthcare. It also addresses resulting questions about leadership, values, and fundamental epistemological questions concerning AI. This volume is of interest to healthcare professionals, officers in the military, humanitarian aid workers, researchers, policymakers, and advanced students in the fields of medical ethics, military ethics, artificial intelligence, and the ethics of technology.
