Bioética aplicada
En la práctica médica y sanitaria las cuestiones y conflictos éticos forman parte del quehacer cotidiano, no sólo en nuestro entorno sino también en el de otros países del mundo que gozan de un sistema de salud organizado. Esta obra ofrece análisis y reflexiones sobre temas diversos, todos ellos entrelazados por pertenecer a esa realidad que los profesionales experimentan día a día y que, fruto de su formación tras finalizar el Máster Universitario en Bioética de la Universitat Ramon Llull (URL), han sido capaces de concretar sobre el papel como contribución al diálogo bioético.
La necesaria mirada ética en Trabajo Social
Esta obra se enmarca dentro la colección coeditada por el Consejo General de Trabajo Social y Ediciones Paraninfo. La colección incluye textos universitarios y ensayos, así como clásicos del Trabajo social, nacionales y extranjeros, cuidadosamente seleccionados con el fin de descubrir y promover entre los lectores de habla hispana, bien sean docentes, estudiantes o profesionales en ejercicio, los orígenes y la historia de esta disciplina y sus clásicos. *** La ética es un elemento fundamental en todas las profesiones y, más aún, en las profesiones en las que la persona es el eje en torno al cual gira el quehacer profesional. Este es el caso del trabajo social, profesión que, ademá...
Cuidar la vida
" ¿Es usted pro-abortista o anti-abortista?, ¿contrario o favorable a la eutanasia?, ¿partidario de informar al paciente o de engañarle? . Tal forma de preguntar conlleva planteamientos dilemáticos y respuestas disyuntivas (sí o no, blanco o negro). Cuando los medios airean semejantes cuestiones, dividida la opinión pública en extremismos por presiones ideológicas de índole política o religiosa, resulta difícil tratar los problemas con seriedad científica y ética. El intento de hacerlo se expone a los tiros desde ambos frentes: para unas críticas parecerá progresismo a ultranza; para otras, conservadurismo disimulado. Asumiendo ese riesgo, a petición de personas interesadas en su lectura, he retocado la forma y matizado el fondo de los ensayos agrupados en la presente compilación de conversaciones en torno al tema del cuidado de la vida. Proceden de dos fuentes diversas de escritos, elaborados en gran parte durante la última década. Unos, de artículos o ponencias especializadas; otros, de conferencias, columnas de prensa y charlas de sobremesa [] Deseo que una lectura crítica pueda prolongar, mediante el diálogo, las conversaciones originales."
Health and Happiness of Political Bodies
In 1926, the German pastor Fritz Jahr in Halle coined the term `Bioethik' and defined a `Bio-Ethical Imperative: Respect every living being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such'. Bioethics since then has grown from medical ethics and social and political strategies to multidisciplinary and integrated disciplines of research and consulting. In 2020, reflecting and mediating the interactive and integrated ecosystems and interactive networks in biology, society, business, technology and communication, I submit a wider integrated biocultural, corporate and political `Bio-Cultural Imperative: Support direct human inter-action and common-sense as an end in itself and use hardware and software tools only in stabilizing healthy and happy cultures in the bodies of ecologies, corporations and politics'. In 1969 a human walked on the moon, in 1989 the Berlin Wall fell down, in 2001 the World Trade Center in New York fell down, in 2020 a global Corona pandemic fell down on people and communities. Biological, political and corporate bodies change, and we change with them and in them: `tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis'. (Hans Martin Sass, preface)

Biolaw: Origins, Doctrine and Juridical Applications on the Biosciences
This book configures a consistent epistemology of biolaw that distinguishes itself from bioethics and from a mere set of international instruments on the regulation of biomedical practices. Such orthodox intellection has prevented biolaw from being understood as a new branch of law with legally binding force, which has certainly dwindled its epistemological density. Hence, this is a revolutionary book as it seeks to deconstruct the history of biolaw and its oblique epistemologies, which means not accepting perennial axioms, and not seeing paradigms where only anachronism and anomaly still exist. It is a book aimed at validity, but also at solidity because the truth of biolaw has never been t...
Birth, Suffering, and Death
For centuries the Roman Catholic Church has been concerned with the moral implications of medical practice. Indeed, until two decades ago, Catholic moral theologians were the major source of moral guidance, scholarly reflection and teaching on a variety of medical-moral topics, particularly those bearing on human life. Many, not only those within the Catholic communion, turned to the Church for guidance as each new possibility for altering the conditions of human life posed new challenges to long held moral values. Two decades ago, the center of gravity of ethical reflection shifted sharply from theologians and Christian philosophers to more secular thinkers. A confluence of forces was respo...
The Edge of Life
The Edge of Life: Human Dignity and Contemporary Bioethics resituates bioethics in fundamental outlook by challenging both the dominant Kantian and utilitarian approaches to evaluating how new technologies apply to human life. Drawing on an analysis of the dignity of the human person, both as an agent and as the recipient of action, The Edge of Life presents a "theoretical" approach to the problems of contemporary bioethics and applies this approach to various disputed questions. Should conjoined twins be split, if the division will end the life of the weaker twin? Was Bush's stem cell research decision morally acceptable? Are the 'quality of life' and 'sanctity of life' ethics irreconcilably incompatible? Accessible to both scholars and students, The Edge of Life focuses particularly on the controversial issues surrounding the beginning and ending of human life, tackling some of the toughest practical questions of bioethics including new reproductive technologies (artificial wombs), stem cell research, abortion and physician assisted suicide, as well as many of its vexing theoretical disputes.
Cognitive Disability Aesthetics
Cognitive Disability Aesthetics explores the invisibility of cognitive disability in theoretical, historical, social, and cultural contexts. Benjamin Fraser's cutting edge research and analysis signals a second-wave in disability studies that prioritizes cognition. Fraser expands upon previous research into physical disability representations and focuses on those disabilities that tend to be least visible in society (autism, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia). Moving beyond established literary approaches analyzing prose representations of disability, the book explores how iconic and indexical modes of signification operate in visual texts. Taking on cognitive disability representations in a range of visual media (painting, cinema, and graphic novels), Fraser showcases the value of returning to impairment discourse. Cognitive Disability Aesthetics successfully reconfigures disability studies in the humanities and exposes the chasm that exists between Anglophone disability studies and disability studies in the Hispanic world.
