Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Organspende als Herausforderung gelingender
Book SynopsisKommunikation im Kontext der Organspende gehört zu den sensibelsten und herausforderndsten Aufgaben im Klinikalltag. Angehörige und medizinisches Fachpersonal begegnen sich in einer äußerst belastenden Phase der Unsicherheit, Trauer und Verletzlichkeit. Dennoch müssen sie gemeinsam klären, ob ein Organspendeausweis vorliegt und das bereits intensivmedizinisch betreute Familienmitglied einer Organspende zustimmen würde. Die Interessen der Beteiligten unterscheiden sich und treffen sich zugleich in der Zielsetzung, den Willen des Patienten mit dieser Entscheidung umzusetzen. Der interdisziplinär angelegte Band reflektiert die im Feld bestehenden Kontingenzen. Er zielt auf eine Präzisierung der Wahrnehmung und erörtert Handlungsoptionen, die dazu beitragen können, diese spezifische Kommunikationssituation konkret zu entlasten.Table of ContentsVorwortTeil 1: Grundlagen und KontexteCharlotte Koscielny, Monika E.

Trivent Publishing Medical Futility in Paediatrics:
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the issues and challenges raised by the high-profile cases of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans. The individual chapters, which complement one other, were written by scholars with expertise in Law, Medicine, Medical Ethics, Theology, Health Policy and Management, English Literature, Nursing and History, from the UK, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Spain, Turkey and the USA.The following are among the key questions explored in the book. Is the courtroom an appropriate forum for resolving conflicts relating to medical futility in paediatrics? If so, should parental rights be protected by confining judicial powers only to cases where there is a risk of significant harm to the infant; or should the "best interests" test continue to be recognised as the "gold standard" for paediatric cases? If not, should mediation be used instead, but how well would this alternative method of dispute resolution work for medical futility conflicts? Further, should social media be deployed to garner support, and should outsiders who are not fully acquainted with the medical facts refrain from intervening? And, how are comparable situations likely to be managed in different countries? What lessons can be learned from them as well as from religious perspectives?Table of Contents Foreword by Michael Redfern QC Preface by Kartina Aisha Choong Notes on Contributors INTRODUCTION.

Trivent Publishing The Bioethics of the Crazy Ape
Book SynopsisThe Bioethics of the "Crazy Ape" collects a wide range of bioethical topics. Bioethical questions are eternal by nature, although our technologized times transform old issues in forms never before experienced. Just like the famous scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi believed in his time, we also believe that all the contributing authors recognised their moral responsibility in adding new approaches to the continuum of each debate. Although this responsibility has became increasingly complex, we must avoid to become barriers of the scientific development. Bioethics as an applied field of philosophy should always try to establish a framework for a sustainable world: in daily clinical practice, in cases of human experiments, and (not least) in the natural environment.Table of Contents Introduction By Oguz Kelemen, Gergely Tari PART I.

Trivent Publishing Ethics of Emerging Biotechnologies: From
Book SynopsisPastor Fritz Jahr used the term bioethics as early as 1927. It was not until the early 1970s that the term was rediscovered in the United States. Since then, the relevance of this emergent academic field of studies has permanently been growing, as the age of biotechnological and medical innovations has only just begun. Enormous progress can be expected in various areas relevant to bioethical discourses in the coming decades and centuries. In the past years, the invention of CRISPR/Cas9 has radically changed the possibilities concerning genetic modifications, even germline modifications have turned into a practical option. These developments need to be investigated by academics from various disciplines, which is the reason why the conference series on Bioethics in the New Age of Science was initialized. The present volume consists in selected papers from the first International Conference on Bioethics in the New Age of Science, which took place on the 4th and 5th of May 2017 at the "Vasile Goldis" West University of Arad, Romania.Table of Contents Introduction By Maria Sinaci and Stefan Lorenz Sorgner PART I.

Bioética clínica Un puente entre la medicina y los valores
Book SynopsisCada día, en hospitales y centros sanitarios, profesionales y pacientes afrontan decisiones que afectan no solo a la vida, sino también a la autonomía, a la equidad y a los valores de las personas. Hasta dónde se debe prolongar un tratamiento? Qué hacer cuando un paciente rechaza la terapia que podría salvarle? Cómo actuar cuando todas las opciones implican dudas morales?La bioética clínica nació para responder a estas cuestiones. Más que una teoría abstracta, es una herramienta práctica que permite reflexionar con rigor y, al mismo tiempo, con humanidad. En estas páginas se muestra, con un lenguaje claro y accesible, cómo identificar un problema ético en la práctica médica, qué modelos existen para afrontarlo y de qué manera es posible tomar decisiones compartidas, justas y transparentes.El autor, médico y filósofo, ofrece un recorrido minucioso y actualizado que abarca desde los orígenes de la disciplina hasta los desafíos que hoy plantean la biotecnología, la inteligencia artificial o los debates sobre el inicio y el final de la vida. En definitiva, se trata de una guía práctica para quienes deseen comprender cómo se entrelazan la medicina, la filosofía y la vida cotidiana en los momentos más decisivos de la existencia.Un libro que no solo invita a reflexionar, sino también a actuar: a deliberar con criterio, a respetar la pluralidad de valores y a encontrar caminos que dignifiquen el cuidado de la salud.

Taylor & Francis Uncertain Bioethics
Book SynopsisBioethics is a field of inquiry and as such is fundamentally an epistemic discipline. Knowing how we make moral judgments can bring into relief why certain arguments on various bioethical issues appear plausible to one side and obviously false to the other. Uncertain Bioethics makes a significant and distinctive contribution to the bioethics literature by culling the insights from contemporary moral psychology to highlight the epistemic pitfalls and distorting influences on our apprehension of value. Stephen Napier also incorporates research from epistemology addressing pragmatic encroachment and the significance of peer disagreement to justify what he refers to as epistemic diffidence when one is considering harming or killing human beings. Napier extends these developments to the traditional bioethical notion of dignity and argues that beliefs subject to epistemic diffidence should not be acted upon. He proceeds to apply this framework to traditional and develTrade Review"Stephen Napier argues with verve and subtlety for a cautious and restrained approach to acts of killing in bioethics; central to his argument is the difficulty of being sure that active interventions are permissible. This book intriguingly combines insights from a wide variety of different recent philosophical literatures to offer an important and interesting contribution to numerous current debates." – Sophie-Grace Chappell is Professor of Philosophy at Open University, UK Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ethics for Bioengineering Scientists
Book SynopsisThis book introduces bioengineers and students who must generate and/or report scientific data to the ethical challenges they will face in preserving the integrity of their data. It provides the perspective of reaching ethical decisions via pathways that treat data as clients, to whom bioengineering scientists owe a responsibility that is an existential component of their professional identity. The initial chapters lay a historical, biological and philosophical foundation for ethics as a human activity, and data as a foundation of science. The middle chapters explore ethical challenges in lay, engineering, medical and bioengineering scientist settings. These chapters focus on micro-ethics, individual behavior, and cases that showcase the consequences of violating data integrity. Macro-ethics, policy, is dealt with in the Enrichment sections at the end of the chapters, with essay problems and subjects for debates (in a classroom setting). The book can be used for individual study, usTable of Contents1. Bioengineering and ethics: Objective data vs. subjective reason. 2. Does ethical behavior have a biological foundation? 3. Moral analysis: Philosophical foundations of ethical action. 4. Moral analysis: Deriving a moral decision. 5. Separating professional from lay ethics. 6. Engineering ethics. 7. Medical ethics. 8.
