Ownership of the Human Body
This is the first book in healthcare ethics addressing the moral issues regarding ownership of the human body. Modern medicine increasingly transforms the body and makes use of body parts for diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive purposes. The book analyzes the concept of body ownership. It also reviews the ownership issues arising in clinical care (for example, donation policies, autopsy) and biomedical research. Societies and legal systems also have to deal with issues of body ownership. A comparison is made between specific legal arrangements in The Netherlands and France, as examples of legal approaches. In the final section of the book, different theoretical perspectives on the human body are analyzed: libertarian, personalist, deontological and utilitarian theories of body ownership.

Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia
Unlike Nazi medical experiments, euthanasia during the Third Reich is barely studied or taught. Often, even asking whether euthanasia during the Third Reich is relevant to contemporary debates about physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and euthanasia is dismissed as inflammatory. Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: Before, During, and After the Holocaust explores the history of euthanasia before and during the Third Reich in depth and demonstrate how Nazi physicians incorporated mainstream Western philosophy, eugenics, population medicine, prevention, and other medical ideas into their ideology. This book reveals that euthanasia was neither forced upon physicians nor wantonly practiced by...
Last Rights
Last Rights examines end-of-life decisions in the context of the Roman Catholic tradition, a heritage rich in its teaching about the human person, the value of life, and the moral rights and responsibilities inherent to every human being. Written for Catholics seeking a better understanding of their own tradition, ministers who deal with Catholic patients, those who wish to learn more about the Catholic perspective, and ordinary decision-makers who must face these complex issues, Last Rights includes cross-references, a glossary, and an appendix and bibliography that provide resources for further study and helpful tools for end-of-life decision-making.
Last Rights?
This rich and comprehensive anthology of primary sources is the essential reference work for anyone interested in understanding the arguments--moral, theological, medical, and legal-- on both sides of the assisted suicide and euthanasia debate.
Leben bis zuletzt
Entspricht das, was Menschen angesichts des Todes gesagt wird, der Heiligen Schrift und der kirchlichen Tradition? Wie kann Auferstehungshoffnung vermittelt und das Frohmachende und Trostspendende des christlichen Glaubens kommuniziert werden? Der vorliegende Band entwickelt tröstende Antworten auf diese Fragen, die der Wahrheit der christlichen Lehre logisch und vernünftig entsprechen. Konkret eröffnet der freiheitstheoretische Ansatz von Thomas Pröpper eine Brücke zwischen zeitgenössisch-säkularer und theologischer Anthropologie. Zentral ist hier die Frage, wie die Individualität des Menschen nach dem Tod weitergedacht und Selbstwerdungsprozesse im Sinne des Freiheitsdenkens transzendental vollendet werden können. Ein abschließender Teil entwickelt überzeugende theologisch-philosophisch fundierte Anstöße für eine zeitgemäße christliche Sterbebegleitung.

Towards a New Catholic Church in Advanced Modernity
A new Catholic Church is emerging in the West, one that is very different from the Church before 1960. This book describes the new Church-in-the-making - its new position in society, its new structuring and workings, and its new frame of mind. The book also looks in a prospective way at some basic issues the Church has to deal with, such as imagining the Church in advanced modernity, attracting both youth and adults, rebuilding local communities, refashioning liturgy, and rethinking pastoral guidance. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary endeavor by philosophers, sociologists, and theologians. (Series: Tilburg Theological Studies / Tilburger Theologische Studien - Vol. 5)
