Organ Transplantation in Times of Donor Shortage
This book analyzes the reasons for organ shortage and ventures innovative ideas for approaching this problem. It presents 29 contributions from a highly interdisciplinary group of world experts and upcoming professionals in the field. Every year thousands of patients die while waiting for organ transplantation. Health authorities, medical professionals and bioethicists worldwide point to the urgent and yet unsolved problem of organ shortage, which will be even intensified due to the increasing life expectancy. Even though the practical problem seems to be well known, the search for suitable solutions continues and often restricts itself by being limited through disciplinary and national borders. Combining philosophical reflection with empirical results, this volume enables a unique insight in the ethics of organ transplantation and offers fresh ideas for policymakers, health care professionals, academics and the general public.
Between Islamic and Secular Law
When describing the legal systems and laws of today’s Muslim-majority states in the Middle Eastern and North African region, two categories of laws are identified: one derived from Islamic and one from non-Islamic law. Following this notion, the literature finds that novel legal areas do not have any connection to Islamic law since they were not regulated by classical Islamic law. In contrast, the topic of organ transplantation is inherently connected to Islamic law because Islam considers itself to encompass all aspects of life. This research based on the analysis of organ transplantation laws of the MENA states encourages to rethink that a strict dichotomy between Islamic and non-Islamic laws does not exist. Organ transplantation laws in MENA states generally follow an international legal standard while also complying with the sharia.

Ordnung durch Verantwortung
Verantwortung wird in der Philosophie einerseits als normativer Maßstab verstanden, andererseits als effektives Mittel zum Umgang mit sozialen Problemen. Galia Assadi erweitert diesen Diskurs um eine neue Perspektive: Sie analysiert Verantwortung im Anschluss an Michel Foucaults "Ordnung der Dinge" und gibt somit eine neue Antwort auf die Frage nach der theoretischen Funktionalität des Begriffs.
Dealing with Bioethical Issues in a Globalized World
This book addresses the complexity of talking about normativity in bioethics within the context of contemporary multicultural and multi-religious society. It offers original contributions by specialists in bioethics exploring new ways of understanding normativity in bioethics. In bioethical publications and debates, the concept of normativity is often used without consideration of the difficulties surrounding it, whereas there are many competing claims for normativity within bioethics. Examples of such competing normative bioethical discourses can be perceived in variations and differences in bioethical arguments within individual religions, and the opposition between bioethical arguments fr...
Hope and Uncertainty in Health and Medicine
In health and medicine, imagining the future is essential in giving meaning to the past and the present and for propelling people into action. This is true not only at the level of individuals as they envision and carry out everyday activities and long-term plans but also for institutional practices framed by and unfolding within various socio-political ecologies and transfigurations. Hope and uncertainty are critical affective and knowledge-related modalities of such imaginations and assume vital meanings in policing, managing, and experiencing health, illness, and well-being. This volume brings together contributions from medical anthropologists who address this theme across various medical spheres, including the pragmatics of hope and uncertainty, the techno-sphere, health management, and individual and socially distributed emotions.
Verantwortung in der evangelischen Ethik
Verantwortung ist zum Schlüsselbegriff evangelischer Ethik geworden. Trotzdem ist die Ambivalenz der Zurechnung von Verantwortung – auch durch Ethik selbst – kaum reflektiert worden. Um dies nachzuholen, bearbeitet der Band praxissoziologische und imaginationstheoretische Kategorien für die Selbstreflexion evangelischer Ethik. Das ermöglicht es, Verantwortung als soziale Praxis zu verstehen. Die Ambivalenz dieser Praxis wird untersucht, indem systematisch der Mehrwert des Verantwortungsbegriffs insbesondere gegenüber dem Pflichtbegriff herausarbeitet wird. Dann werden Imaginationen diskutiert, die der Verantwortungsbegriff in Diskursen vor allem evangelischer Ethik konnotiert. Abschl...
A Revised Consent Model for the Transplantation of Face and Upper Limbs: Covenant Consent
This book supports the emerging field of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) for face and upper-limb transplants by providing a revised, ethically appropriate consent model which takes into account what is actually required of facial and upper extremity transplant recipients. In place of consent as permission-giving, waiver, or autonomous authorization (the standard approaches), this book imagines consent as an ongoing mutual commitment, i.e. as covenant consent. The covenant consent model highlights the need for a durable personal relationship between the patient/subject and the care provider/researcher. Such a relationship is crucial given the recovery period of 5 years or mor...
Chronic Care - Wissenschaft und Praxis
Die Bedeutung einer fachlich und sachlich angemessenen Gesundheitsversorgung für chronisch und vor allem mehrfach chronisch kranken Menschen ist angesichts des demografischen Wandels und der Zunahme der Menschen mit eingeschränkter Alltagskompetenz im Alter unabweisbar. Obwohl die Enquete-Kommission „Demografischer Wandel“ bereits vor dreißig Jahren Anforderungen und Lösungen aufgezeigt hat, gibt es wissenschaftlich und versorgungspraktisch noch erhebliche Aufarbeitungsdefizite. Das Handbuch will einen Beitrag zum Schließen dieser Lücken liefern. Es führt die unterschiedlichen Fachperspektiven zusammen, zeigt die Schnittstellen und Instrumente der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den an de...
