Johns Hopkins University Press Ethical Imperialism
Book SynopsisThis short, smart analysis will engage scholars across academia.Trade ReviewEthical Imperialism is a remarkable accomplishment and a must-read for researchers and policy makers. It persuasively weaves together the scholarly, disciplinary, regulatory, and bureaucratic strands that account for today's 'omnipresent threat' to social research. Canadian Journal of Sociology This book ought to be required reading for those concerned about the political forces that make our work possible, and sometimes not possible at all. -- Susan B. Reverby American Historical Review [A]n impressive assessment of IRBs, from their tenuous beginnings in the early 1960s as a practical response to a perceived threat to the public from medical research to [their] present status as a threat to academic freedom in the social sciences... [A] significant contribution to those oral historians and related practitioners who would seek to challenge IRB's right and ability to adequately evaluate their research projects, particularly before the research has been conducted. Oral History Review A valuable contribution to the history of federal science policy and a useful critique of a system ill-suited to the uses to which it is being put. Journal of American History The book is a powerful indictment of the IRB regime. Law and Politics Book Review Exhaustively researched, drawing on... a wide array of sources. -- Donald N. Bersoff PsycCRITIQUES Thoroughly researched story of how IRBs came to be, how they came to adopt rules designed for medical, biological, and psychological researchers and then to apply them to the social sciences, how those rules became institutionalized, and how the rules protect universities rather than the people who serve as subjects and informants in social science research. Contemporary Sociology I highly recommended this book for its contribution to the discussion of academic freedom, social science research, and the regulation of research ethics. -- Ellen Marakowitz AAUP: Regulated ResearchTable of ContentsPrefaceList of AbbreviationsIntroduction1.

American Nurses Publishing Code of Ethics for Nurses: With Interpretive
Book SynopsisThe definitive framework for ethical analysis and decision-making for RNs across all practice levels, roles and settings. Revisions were made in this new edition in response to the complexities of modern nursing, to simplify and more clearly articulate the content, to anticipate advances in health care, and to incorporate aids that would make it richer, more accessible, and easier to use.Consisting of nine provisions and the accompanying interpretive statements, it: Provides a succinct statement of the ethical values, obligations, and duties of every individual who enters the nursing profession. Serves as the profession’s nonnegotiable ethical standard. Expresses nursing’s own understanding of its commitment to society. The code is particularly useful to in today’s health care environment because it reiterates the fundamental values and commitments of the nurse (Provisions 1–3), identifies the boundaries of duty and loyalty (Provisions 4–6), and describes the duties of the nurse that extend beyond individual patient encounters (Provisions 7–9). This revision retains interpretive statements for each provision that provide more specific guidance for practice. The statements are responsive to the contemporary context of nursing and recognize the larger scope of nursing’s concern in relation to health. It also includes another innovation: links to foundational and supplemental documents, which will be available later in 2015.ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses is the promise that nurses are doing their best to provide care for their patients and their communities and are supporting each other in the process so that all nurses can fulfill their ethical and professional obligations. It is important tool that can be used now as leverage to a better future for nurses, patients and health care. This Code is a reflection of the proud ethical heritage of nursing, a guide for all nurses now and into the future.Table of Contents Preface Introduction Provision 1 1.1 Respect For Human Dignity 1.2 Relationships with Patients 1.3 The Nature of Health 1.4 The Right to Self-Determination 1.5 Relationships with Colleagues and Others Provision 2 2.1 Primacy of the Patient's Interests 2.2 Conflict of Interest for Nurses 2.3 Collaboration 2.4 Professional Boundaries Provision 3 3.1 Protection of the Rights of Privacy and Confidentiality 3.2 Protection of Human Participants in Research 3.3 Performance Standards and Review Mechanisms 3.4 Professional Responsibility in Promoting a Culture of Safety 3.5 Protection of Patient Health and Safety by Acting on Questionable Practice 3.6 Patient Protection and Impaired Practice Provision 4 4.1 Authority, Accountability, and Responsibility 4.2 Accountability for Nursing Judgments, Decisions, and Actions 4.3 Responsibility for Nursing Judgments, Decisions, and Actions 4.4 Assignment and Delegation of Nursing Activities or Tasks Provision 5 5.1 Duties to Self and Others 5.2 Promotion of Personal Health, Safety, and Well-Being 5.3 Preservation of Wholeness of Character 5.4 Preservation of Integrity 5.5 Maintenance of Competence and Continuation of Professional Growth 5.6 Continuation of Personal Growth Provision 6 6.1 The Environment and Moral Virtue 6.2 The Environment and Ethical Obligation 6.3 Responsibility for the Healthcare Environment Provision 7 7.1 Contributions through Research and Scholarly Inquiry 7.2 Contributions through Developing, Maintaining, and Implementing Professional Practice Standards 7.3 Contributions through Nursing and Health Policy Development Provision 8 8.1 Health Is a Universal Right 8.2 Collaboration for Health, Human Rights, and Health Diplomacy 8.3 Obligation to Advance Health and Human Rights and Reduce Disparities 8.4 Collaboration for Human Rights in Complex, Extreme, or Extraordinary Practice Settings Provision 9 9.1 Articulation and Assertion of Values 9.2 Integrity of the Profession 9.3 Integrating Social Justice 9.4 Social Justice in Nursing and Health Policy Afterword Glossary Timeline: The Evolution of Nursing’s Code of Ethics

Georgetown University Press Taking Advance Directives Seriously: Prospective
Book SynopsisIn the quarter century since the landmark Karen Ann Quinlan case, an ethical, legal, and societal consensus supporting patients' rights to refuse life-sustaining treatment has become a cornerstone of bioethics. Patients now legally can write advance directives to govern their treatment decisions at a time of future incapacity, yet in clinical practice their wishes often are ignored. Examining the tension between incompetent patients' prior wishes and their current best interests as well as other challenges to advance directives, Robert S. Olick offers a comprehensive argument for favoring advance instructions during the dying process. He clarifies widespread confusion about the moral and legal weight of advance directives, and he prescribes changes in law, policy, and practice that would not only ensure that directives count in the care of the dying but also would define narrow instances when directives should not be followed. Olick also presents and develops an original theory of prospective autonomy that recasts and strengthens patient and family control. While focusing largely on philosophical issues the book devotes substantial attention to legal and policy questions and includes case studies throughout. An important resource for medical ethicists, lawyers, physicians, nurses, health care professionals, and patients' rights advocates, it champions the practical, ethical, and humane duty of taking advance directives seriously where it matters most-at the bedside of dying patients.Trade ReviewThis book will be an important resource for physicians, medical ethicists, and other health care professionals as they deal with the rights and prerogatives of the dying and the legal and policy questions surrounding the choices to be made in the conduct of their care. New Jersey Medicine Disquieted that the wishes of dying patients do not direct care at the end of life even when their intentions and plans have been put to writing in an advance directive, Olick rethinks and reinvigorates the case for patient and family control in the face of significant challenges to the nature, scope, and importance of autonomy in the care of incompetent dying patients. Book News, Inc. I recommend this book highly to all health care professionals. It is clearly written, and beautifully argued. It was a pleasure to read such lucid prose reflecting clear thinking. It certainly gave a me a different perspective from which to argue for the rights of patients to die in a dignified manner, a topic that is important to all of us, health care professional or not. Nursing Ethics The book is simultaneously a model of scholarship and a work of advocacy that if heeded would dramatically change the way many patients die. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students and faculty, and essential reading for professionals and practitioners. Choice An important resource for health-care professionals, medical ethicists, and legal scholars who are involved in the legal rights and policy issues surrounding end-of-life decisions.

Georgetown University Press Health and Human Flourishing: Religion, Medicine,
Book SynopsisWhat, exactly, does it mean to be human? It is an age-old question, one for which theology, philosophy, science, and medicine have all provided different answers. But though a unified response to the question can no longer be taken for granted, how we answer it frames the wide range of different norms, principles, values, and intuitions that characterize today's bioethical discussions. If we don't know what it means to be human, how can we judge whether biomedical sciences threaten or enhance our humanity? This fundamental question, however, receives little attention in the study of bioethics. In a field consumed with the promises and perils of new medical discoveries, emerging technologies, and unprecedented social change, current conversations about bioethics focus primarily on questions of harm and benefit, patient autonomy, and equality of health care distribution. Prevailing models of medical ethics emphasize human capacity for self-control and self-determination, rarely considering such inescapable dimensions of the human condition as disability, loss, and suffering, community and dignity, all of which make it difficult for us to be truly independent. In "Health and Human Flourishing", contributors from a wide range of disciplines mine the intersection of the secular and the religious, the medical and the moral, to unearth the ethical and clinical implications of these facets of human existence. Their aim is a richer bioethics, one that takes into account the roles of vulnerability, dignity, integrity, and relationality in human affliction as well as human thriving. Including an examination of how a theological anthropology - a theological understanding of what it means to be a human being - can help us better understand health care, social policy, and science, this thought-provoking anthology will inspire much-needed conversation among philosophers, theologians, and health care professionals.Trade ReviewHealth and Human Flourishing represents a positive contribution towards validating voices of faith expressed through rational argumentation in the sphere of bioethics. Health Progress The contributors' ability to see the healing professions not only in terms of positive outcomes, but also in the context of our interdependence and mutual frailty suggests that the field of medical ethics is indeed reaching into its full human maturity. America This book is to be praised and indeed read and discussed for its daring attempt to address the anthropological quandry, thereby moving the bioethical debate beyond its usual focus on rights, decision making, and (meta-)ethical theories. Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics Undoubtably relevant beyond the US Catholic milieu. The collection will be helpful, not only to those engaged in medicine or bioethics, but to anyone reflecting on the meaning of human vulnerability, integrity, relationality and flourishing in the light of experiences of illness and healing.

Georgetown University Press African American Bioethics: Culture, Race, and
Book SynopsisDo people of differing ethnicities, cultures, and races view medicine and bioethics differently? And, if they do, should they? Are doctors and researchers taking environmental perspectives into account when dealing with patients? If so, is it done effectively and properly? In African American Bioethics, Lawrence J. Prograis Jr. and Edmund D. Pellegrino bring together medical practitioners, researchers, and theorists to assess one fundamental question: Is there a distinctive African American bioethics? The book's contributors resoundingly answer yes—yet their responses vary. They discuss the continuing African American experience with bioethics in the context of religion and tradition, work, health, and U.S. society at large—finding enough commonality to craft a deep and compelling case for locating a black bioethical framework within the broader practice, yet recognizing profound nuances within that framework. As a more recent addition to the study of bioethics, cultural considerations have been playing catch-up for nearly two decades. African American Bioethics does much to advance the field by exploring how medicine and ethics accommodate differing cultural and racial norms, suggesting profound implications for growing minority groups in the United States.Trade ReviewThe contributors provide a compelling case for locating an African-American framework for bioethics. Practitioners, researchers, and theorists will find this book worth reading. There is no compendium on the subject like it. * New England Journal of Medicine *African American Bioethics: Culture, Race, and Identity represents an excellent contribution to the field of bioethics. It has implications for those who want to study further the social effects of health care and bioethics on other racial and ethnic non-dominant groups living in the United States and seek to access its health care delivery system. * Health Progress *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction Culture and Bioethics: Where Ethics and Mores MeetEdmund D.

Baraka Books Stolen Motherhood: Surrogacy and Made-to-Order
Book SynopsisContracting surrogate mothers is no longer marginal. Nor is it secret. Surrogacy is growing rapidly even though no informed debate on the social impacts of its normalization has been conducted. It is even regarded as socially progressive, while those who question it are considered to be opposed to progress. The 'surrogacy process' - commissioning a woman to bear and give birth to a child and then surrender it - is vitiated by its contractual nature, be it in its so-called altruistic form (i.e., no exchange of money) or the straight-forward commercial form. It is an attack on the human dignity and equal gender rights of surrogate mothers, but also a denial of the rights of the contracted child to come, who is so often forgotten in the 'process.' Current inconsistent or contradictory legislation has led to a fait accompli approach to the question. It's being done, so let's just regulate it, say its defenders. Other countries that have followed that logic have seen an increase in both demand for surrogates and recourse to shrewd international brokers. In many cases, international simply means the surrogate mother is from a poor country with lax legislation, the commissioning parents, from rich countries. By examining the 'surrogacy process' and all its implications, Maria De Koninck reaches the conclusion that the best way forward is an international ban on surrogacy.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Krankheitserfahrung und Religion
Book SynopsisDer Umgang mit Krankheit hat christentumsgeschichtlich immer eine wichtige Rolle gespielt. In der gegenwärtigen protestantischen Theologie zeigt sich hingegen gegenüber dem Krankheitsthema ein deutliches Unbehagen. Angesichts dessen unternimmt Thorsten Moos eine umfassende systematisch-theologische Analyse von Grundproblemen des Umgangs mit Krankheit. Ausgehend von Einsichten philosophischer Anthropologie und Phänomenologie, Medizinphilosophie, Soziologie und Kulturwissenschaften analysiert er religiös-valente Grundstrukturen der Krankheitserfahrung. Diese lassen sich mit Hilfe zentraler theologischer Topoi verstehen. Auf diese Weise werden der biographische Sinn von Krankheit, die Würde Kranker, die Hoffnung auf Gesundheit und die individuelle Sorge für Kranke als Belange der religiösen Praxis wie auch der dogmatischen und ethischen Reflexion erschlossen. Damit leistet der Autor auch einen Beitrag zu aktuellen medizin- und pflegeethischen Fragestellungen.
