Bioethics

by Sean Aas, Collin O'Neil, Chiara Lepora

Fifty Problems, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments collects 50 cases―both real and imaginary―that have been, or should be, of special interest and importance to philosophical bioethics. Cases are collected together under topical headings in a natural order for an introductory course in bioethics. Each case is described in a few pages, which includes bioethical context, a concise narrative of the case itself, and a discussion of its importance, both for broader philosophical issues and for practical problems in clinical ethics and health policy. Each entry also contains a brief, annotated, list of suggested readings. In addition to the classic cases in bioethics, the book contains discussion of cases that involve several emerging bioethical especially, issues around disability, social justice, and the practice of medicine in a diverse and globalized world.
