Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Ethical Issues in Biotechnology
Book SynopsisEthical Issues in Biotechnology is the first textbook of its kind, written collaboratively by a philosopher and a biologist to provide undergraduate students with a comprehensive, accessible introduction to the ethical and scientific fundamentals of biotechnology. Engaging the ethics and the science side by side, the text addresses pressing questions in agricultural, food, and animal biotechnology; human genetics; gene therapy; human cloning; and stem cell research. A general introduction to both the moral philosophy and fundamentals of genetics is enhanced throughout the text with section-specific introductions addressing the particular philosophical and scientific challenges posed by the topic under consideration. Diagrams and drawings, study cases, liberal use of practical examples, and suggestions for further reading make the text an ideal resource for a broad range of students interested in issues and questions lying at the intersection of philosophy and genetics.Trade ReviewThis will be the field-defining book for the ethics of biotechnology. It is the best one-volume guide to the issues currently being debated with respect to the new genetic technologies, and the only one that illuminates the connections between medical and agricultural applications. Teachers will use it in the classroom, but beyond that it should be thought of as an indispensable read for anyone who wants to be informed about science, ethics, and public policy. -- Paul B. Thompson, Michigan State University, W.K. Kellogg Professor of Agricultural, Food, and Community EthicsRichard Sherlock and John Morrey have developed a timely anthology on the ethical dimensions in biotechnology that is both scientifically sound and philosophically provocative. Engaging readings as well as a compendium of cases offer many formats for teachable dialogue between instructor and students. The questions—scientific, philosophical, political, legal, moral—examined through Ethical Issues in Biotechnology illustrate the urgent need for critical ethical scholarship in this rapidly emerging field. This anthology meets that need. -- Courtney S. Campbell, Oregon State UniversityThe most substantial and sophisticated treatment of biomedical ethics that I have come across recently, and a treatment that remains quite accessible to undergraduate students. -- Dr. S. N. Fratantaro, Providence CollegeIt is refreshingly atypical that the book does not just focus on human cloning or human genetic screening but takes on the whole topic of biotechnology. It is enterprising and clever to have a book edited collaboratively by a biologist and a philosopher, and the result is a balanced treatment. The readings have already been proven successful with students. With diagrams, study cases, examples, and suggestions for further research, the book is a comprehensive and well-expressed introduction to the science and ethics of biotechnology. * Research News and Opportunities In Science and Theology *All who are involved in ethics and biotechnology should be immensely grateful for [Sherlock and Morrey's] efforts. Balanced and teachable, Ethical Issues in Biotechnology is a valuable contribution to the field, and a must-have for those teaching either undergraduates enrolled in upper-level courses, or graduates students, across the disciplines of science and humanities. * Technology and Culture *Sherlock and Morrey cover a fascinating and engaging set of cutting edge issues. This work covers biotechnology in the broadest sense of the word, contains masterfully selected readings, and challenges the reader to think into the future. It should be very useful to college, graduate, and professional students. -- Steven Post, Case Western Reserve UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Part 2 I.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers A Concise History of Euthanasia
Book SynopsisIn this first book to explore the history of euthanasia worldwide since classical antiquity, distinguished historian Ian Dowbiggin exposes the many disturbing themes that link present and past in the concept of the right to die. His deeply informed history traces the controversial record of mercy killing, a source of heated debate among doctors and laypeople alike. Dowbiggin examines evolving opinions about what constitutes a good death, taking into account the societal and religious values placed on sin, suffering, resignation, judgment, penance, and redemption. He also examines the bitter struggle between those who advocate for the right to compassionate and effective end-of-life care and those who justify euthanasia by defining human life in terms of biological criteria, utilitarian standards, a faith in science, humane medical treatment, the principle of personal autonomy, or individual human rights. The author considers both the influence of technological and behavioral changes inTrade ReviewDowbiggin has produced a well-written text of considerable breadth . . . . Those generally interested in the topic will find all they need to know about the whys and hows of euthanasia belief and advocacy in this short and easy-to-digest book. Dowbiggin has fulfilled the promise of his title and produced the best available concise history of euthanasia. * First Things *A useful, clearly written primer on an issue of increasing importance. * American Historical Review *It is certainly accessible and can be commended as a very general orientation to the history of euthanasia; one becomes familiar with the broad contours of its history. * Ethics and Medicine *Anyone desiring a more deeply informed sense of the historical background to our current debates over end-of-life issues will appreciate this thoughtful and dispassionate introduction by Ian Dowbiggin, one of our most accomplished scholars of the subject. They will learn that the burning controversies of the moment, while unprecedented in many respects, are not entirely new, precisely because they emerge out of the most fundamental problems of human existence. -- Wilfred M. McClay, University of OklahomaEssential reading that recounts with verve and clarity the story of euthanasia from the ancient Greeks to postmodern Americans. Understanding the historical record may lead contemporary advocates for euthanasia and assisted suicide to pause and reconsider their prescriptions today. Certainly those who combat these practices cannot help but be bolstered by Dowbiggin’s fine piece of work. -- Paul McHugh, Johns Hopkins UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1: Obedient unto Death Chapter 2: This Troublesome Shore Chapter 3: Method of Escape Chapter 4: A Higher Morality?

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Mass Hysteria
Book SynopsisIn Mass Hysteria, Rebecca Kukla examines the present-day medical and cultural practices surrounding pregnancy, new motherhood, and infant feeding. In the late-eighteenth century, the configuration of the maternal body underwent a radical transformation and the two maternal bodies that emerged out of this transformation still govern our imagination and rituals surrounding pregnancy and lactation. Exploring the history and the current life of these two maternal bodies within medical institutions, popular culture, and politics, Kukla offers a critical assessment of the lived repercussions of these ideological figures and practices for contemporary women''s and infants'' health and well-being.Trade ReviewWith sly wit, impressive historical scope and deep moral conviction, Rebecca Kukla brilliantly illuminates modern cultural beliefs and practices about motherhood as an embodied experience. Taking us back into seventeenth century Europe and through the Enlightenment, Kukla deftly and vividly interprets texts and pictures to uncover the historical foundations of the mutually constitutive relationship between maternal bodies and the body politic and to illustrate how this history, no less than contemporarytechnologies, shapes and constrains the lived experience of pregnancy and mothering today. With insights that transcend liberalism and postmodernism, Kukla re-interprets the usual dichotomies?private/public, nature/culture, inner/outer, self/other?and offers a profoundly feminist reading of the fluid, permeable boundaries of maternal bodies. The ?fix? she proposes is one that promises to restore women?s integrity, agency and identity both within and without motherhood. <|>Mass Hysteria<|> is a tour deforce of feminist scholarship. -- Elizabeth M. Armstrong, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, Princeton UniversityKukla advances feminist thinking about maternity and breastfeeding…Highly recommended. * CHOICE *A learned, engaging, and lively account. -- Hilde Lindemann, Professor of Philosophy at Michigan State University * Hastings Center Report *Packed with material drawn from the history of medicine as well as popular and professional sources....A rich resource. * Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy *[Kukla's] analysis is occasionally brilliant. * Feminist Collections: A Quarterly Of Women's Studies Resources, Summer / Fall 2008 *Mass Hysteria: Medicine, Culture and Mothers' Bodies is articulate, thoughtful, carefully researched and argued. It breaks new ground in both feminist and philosophical scholarship. Kukla encourages us to reflect critically on what mothers expect of themselves, and what society expects of mothers. -- Amy Mullin, University of Toronto MississaugaWith sly wit, impressive historical scope and deep moral conviction, Rebecca Kukla brilliantly illuminates modern cultural beliefs and practices about motherhood as an embodied experience. Taking us back into seventeenth century Europe and through the Enlightenment, Kukla deftly and vividly interprets texts and pictures to uncover the historical foundations of the mutually constitutive relationship between maternal bodies and the body politic and to illustrate how this history, no less than contemporary technologies, shapes and constrains the lived experience of pregnancy and mothering today. With insights that transcend liberalism and postmodernism, Kukla re-interprets the usual dichotomies—private/public, nature/culture, inner/outer, self/other—and offers a profoundly feminist reading of the fluid, permeable boundaries of maternal bodies. The ‘fix’ she proposes is one that promises to restore women’s integrity, agency and identity both within and without motherhood.

Cambridge University Press Complex Ethics Consultations Volume 1
Book SynopsisClinical ethics consultants navigate dilemmas across patient care, public health, healthcare policy, and professional guidelines with issues spanning from the beginning to the end of life, complex discharges, employment of novel technologies, and visitation restrictions. The second edition relays the narratives of fraught, complex consultations through richly detailed cases exploring the ethical reasoning, professional issues, and the emotional aspects of these impossibly difficult scenarios. Describing the affective aspects of ethics consultations, authors highlight the lasting effects of these cases on their practices and reflect candidly on evolving professional practice as well as contemporary concerns and innovations, with attention to equity and inclusivity. Featuring many new chapters, cases are grouped together by theme to aid teaching, discussion, and professional growth. The book is intended for clinicians, bioethicists, and ethics committee members with an interest in the choices made in real-life medical dilemmas as well as the emotional cost to those working to improve the situations.
