Pavadinimas: CASE ANALYSIS IN CLINICAL ETHICS

Anotacija:

     Case Analysis in Clinical Ethics is a grounded review from a team of leading ethicists covering the main methods for analysing ethical problems in modern medicine. Anneke Lucassen, a clinician, begins by presenting an ethically challenging genetics case drawn from her clinical experience. It is then analysed from different theoretical points of view. Each ethicist takes a particular approach, illustrating it in action and giving the reader a basic grounding in its central elements. Each chapter can be read on its own, but comparison between them gives the reader a sense of how far methodology in medical ethics matters, and how different theoretical starting points can lead to different practical conclusions. At the end, Dr Lucassen gives a clinician's response to the various ethical methods described....

Pavadinimas: ETHICAL ISSUES IN FORENSIC MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH
Autoriai: EDITED BY GWEN ADSHEAD, CHRISTINE BROWN
Metai: 2003

Anotacija:

     Based on the real-life ethical dilemmas that the contributors have encountered in their research, this book tackles some of the core ethical issues faced by researchers in forensic mental health today. The book focuses on the question of consent (the capacity to consent in forensic settings, the procurement of consent among incarcerated people and the ability of young people to provide consent) but also looks, among other issues, at the effects of culturally specific lay beliefs about mental illness, confidentiality and ethics in risk assessment research. Taking into account the recent policy developments following the Griffiths and Redfern reports, this collection will be of great use to all those conducting mental health research and prove thought-provoking for anyone working in the field.

Anotacija:

     IN THE CLINICAL SETTING, physicians encounter a host of perplexing ethical problems, often complicated by conflicting perspectives and the need to make immediate decisions. In this volume, bioethicists provide a nuanced, in-depth approach to the difficult issues involved in bioethics consultation. Addressing the needs of researchers, clinicians, and other health professionals on the front lines of bioethics practice, the contributors focus primarily on practical concerns whether ethics consultation is best done by individuals, teams, or committees; how an ethics consult service should be structured; the need for institutional support; and techniques and programs for educating and training staff without neglecting more theoretical considerations, such as the importance of character or the viability of organizational ethics....

Pavadinimas: PUBLIC HEALTH, ETHICS, AND EQUITY
Autoriai: EDITED BY SUDHIR ANAND, FABIENNE PETER, AMARTYA SEN

Anotacija:

     It is widely recognized that health is influenced by a variety of social, economic and environmental factors, and not just by access to health care. The extensive empirical literature on the social determinants of-and inequalities in-health has yet to be matched by an appreciation of the normative underpinnings of health equity. Health equity expresses a commitment of public health to social justice, which raises a series of ethical issues. Why, if at all, should a concern with health equity be singled out from the pursuit of social justice in general? What is the extent of social-as opposed to individual-responsibility for health? What ethical problems arise in evaluating population health and health inequalities? How sensitive should the pursuit of health equity be to contextual considerations in contrast to universal values?
     In addressing these important questions, this volume examines the foundations of health equity. With contributions from distinguished philosophers, anthropologists, economists, and public-health specialists, it centres on five major themes: what is health equity?; health equity and its relation to social justice; health inequalities and responsibilities for health; ethical issues in health evaluation and prioritization; and anthropological perspectives on health equity.
     This significant volume will be valuable to researchers and teachers in public health, philosophy, public policy, and health economics, and to public-health analysts and policymakers.

Anotacija:

     This book offers the most compelling case yet against rational choice theory, cost-benefit analysis, utilitarian ethics, and the subjective theories of value that underlie them. More than this, it offers a fresh and lucid alternative theory of value, rich with practical consequences for politics, economics, and ethics. This remarkable work should establish Elizabeth Anderson as one of the most important moral philosophers of her generation.
