Between Moral Hazard and Legal Uncertainty
Genome Editing Techniques are seen to be at the frontier of current research in the field of emerging biotechnologies. The latest revolutionary development, the so-called CRISPR technology, represents a paradigmatic example of the ambiguity of such techniques and has resulted in an international interdisciplinary debate on whether or not it is necessary to ban the application of this technique by means of a moratorium on its use for human germline modifications, particularly in human embryos in the reproduction process. However, given that other germline engineering techniques like mitochondrial (mt) DNA transfer techniques are already permitted and applied, the question arises what lies at the root of the apparent social unease about the modification of the human germline by Genome Editing Techniques like CRISPR. Against this background, the book seeks to make a substantial contribution to the current debate about a responsible and participatory framework for research on emerging biotechnologies by analysing underlying perceptions, attitudes, arguments and the reasoning on Genome Editing Techniques.
Bioethics
The questions and dilemmas of bioethics touch everyone. Should people who refuse to be vaccinated be treated for COVID-19, even if that displaces vaccinated patients with other serious conditions? What restrictions on abortion should there be, if any? Should women be paid to donate eggs? Bioethics: What Everyone Needs to Know ® discusses these and other similar questions facing the public today--as well as providing a way for thinking deeply about them. Steinbock and Menzel first examine major moral theories and how they can be used to analyze bioethical issues. They then provide historical background to the birth of bioethics and explain how it shifted from a paternalistic doctor knows bes...
The Impact of Health Care
Pluralism has become the defining characteristic of many modern societies. Not only a plurality of individual and social claims and activities gain impacts on societal life. A creative pluralism of institutions and their norms profoundly shape our moral commitments and character – notably the family, the market, the media, and systems of law, religion, politics, research, education, health care, and defense. In the theoretical, empirical, and historical contributions to this volume, specialists on medicine, medical ethics, psychology, theology and health care discuss the many challenges that major transformations in their areas of expertise pose to the communication and orientation in late modern pluralistic societies. Contributors come from Germany, the USA and Australia.
Genomics, Populations, and Society
Genomics, Populations, and Society, a new volume in the Genomic and Precision Medicine in Clinical Practice series, considers the vast and thorny web of ELSI topics in genomics, from bioethics to healthcare applications, healthcare economics, genomic data management, and population dynamics. Emphasis is placed on the impact of rapid genomic advances on ethical, sociocultural and lifestyle dimensions. Healthcare and health economics topics include genomics and digital health, genome editing, and genomics and infectious disease management. Legal issues related to data ownership, equity, access, probity, consent, and confidentiality are also discussed in-depth, along with sociocultural topics s...
Digitalisierung der Pflege
Digitale Technologien transformieren Praktiken und Strukturen im Pflegebereich. Die ethischen Implikationen dieses Transformationsprozesses sind vielfältig und durch die intersektorale Struktur der Pflege mitbestimmt. Die ethische Analyse und Bewertung einer digitalisierten Pflege setzt daher einen interdisziplinären Forschungsansatz voraus, der über Sektorengrenzen hinausblickt. Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes ist es, Perspektiven aus der Ethik, Geschichte, Medizininformatik, Robotik, den Pflegewissenschaften sowie den Sozialwissenschaften zusammenzuführen. Die ethischen und sozialen Aspekte digitaler Technologien in der Pflege werden aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet, um so der Komplexität der Pflege und der Technologien gerecht zu werden.
Loneliness and the Crisis of Work
In the context of contemporary capitalist societies, this book provides philosophical reflections on new forms of domination, vulnerability and alienation in the social relations associated with work. Following Hannah Arendt, who viewed work as a world-building activity, the volume addresses issues pertaining to the crisis of work and loneliness as a political problem of exclusion and meaninglessness.
Genetic Responsibility in Germany and Israel
Prenatal diagnosis, especially noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has changed the experience of pregnancy, prenatal care and responsibilities in Israel and Germany in different ways. These differences reflect the countries' historical legacies, medico-legal policies, normative and cultural identities. Building on this observation, the contributors of this book present conversations between leading scholars from Israel and Germany based on an empirical bioethical perspective, analyses about the reshaping of 'life' by biomedicine, and philosophical reflections on socio-cultural claims and epistemic horizons of responsibilities. Practices and discussions of reproductive medicine transform the concepts of responsibility and irresponsibility.
Leben jenseits des Todes?
Todesbilder – Studien zum gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit dem Tod Herausgegeben von Dominik Groß, Andrea Esser, Hubert Knoblauch und Brigitte Tag Handelt es sich bei einer Herztransplantation um einen medizinischen Eingriff oder um ein »partielles Weiterleben« eines Spenders im Körper des Empfängers? Die Beiträger beschäftigen sich mit der Organspende und den ihr zugrundeliegenden Motiven und Deutungsmustern. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob die Organspende als prototypisches Beispiel für Transmortalität gelten kann – also für das Bestreben, den eigenen toten Körper in seiner Absolutheit zu relativieren und über den Tod hinaus fortzuleben.
Welt der Artefakte
Artefakte – das sind nicht nur Steinwerkzeuge, Tonscherben und Pfeilspitzen. Fasst man die Definition weiter, dann gehören auch geistige Produkte wie Erfindungen, Begrifflichkeiten und komplexe Theorien dazu. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes analysieren die Welt der Artefakte aus den Perspektiven verschiedener technischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Die Philosophie erweist sich dabei als Brücke, welche die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen verknüpft und eint. Das Selbstverständnis des wissenschaftlichen, bildungsorientierten und gemeinnützigen Arbeitskreises philosophierender Ingenieure und Naturwissenschaftler (APHIN) e.V. – die Offenheit für die Fragen und Probleme der jeweils anderen – ist dabei in allen Texten präsent.
