Medizin - Macht - Zwang: Wie Frei Sind Wir Angesichts Des Medizinischen Fortschritts? (Bioethik in Wissenschaft Und Gesellschaft)

by Wolfgang Kroll (Editor), Walter Schaupp (Editor)

Present biomedical progress is fascinating and without doubt promotes welfare and reduces suffering in many ways. Nevertheless it has to be asked how far the modern individual is more a captive of its practical imperatives than an enlightened, conscious and responsible consumer of its How free are we in the view of the present biomedical progress? Facing this problem this volume presents some specific fields of application and, then, considerations of medical experts, sociologists, philosophers and theologians on human freedom and its empowerment in front of these challenges. The volume is addressed to scientists and professionals in ethics and theology as well in the field of biomedicine.
