Beschreibung

In this book, Jason Scott Robert takes a very broad view of bioethics, conceiving of the field as "bioscience ethics", that is ethics in and of biology. But while the subject matter is quite broad, the focus is uniquely sharp, settled on what bioethics is becoming and what it ought to be. Bioethics: A Contemporary Introduction contains 14 chapters divided into six parts. These parts cover (1) the history, present and future of bioethics; (2) bioethics in the preclinical realm; (3) public and population health ethics; (4) bioethics in the clinic; (5) bioethics beyond health care; (6) and how to build a better bioethicist. Robert covers important standard issue in the field, like doctor-patient relationships, animal and human experimentation-but also chooses emerging or often neglected issues to challenge the reader to think inclusively about the implications of moral thought in the medical and biological realms. These issues include science funding, global health, population health ethics, dis/abilities, how bioethics is perceived, social determinants of health, and bioethics as civics.
