     Progress in the neurosciences is profoundly changing our conception of ourselves. Contrary to time-honored intuition, the mind turns out to be a complex of brain functions. And contrary to the wishful thinking of some philosophers, there is no stemming the revolutionary impact that brain research will have on our understanding of how the mind works....

     Is it ever right to stop medical treatment for patients, knowing that this may mean their death? When should a person be pronounced dead? Who should make these decisions doctors and nurses, judges, the government, ethics committees, or patients and their families? Should economic considerations play a role in their choices? Legal considerations?

Pavadinimas: ENDING LIVES
Autoriai: ROBERT CAMPBELL DIANE COLLINSON
Metai: 1988
ISBN: 0-631-15329-2
Brūkšninis kodas: 4202160

Anotacija:

     Ending lives addresses the sensitive and complex questions of suicide and euthanasia. It examines the apparent contradiction that those who in general terms hold killing people to be wrong may well believe suicide and euthanasia to be morally justifiable, even though both are cases of killing people. This in turn raises questions about the nature of suicide and euthanasia, the value of life and the morality of the way it is ended.

Anotacija:

     This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand the pitfalls of policy-making where euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are concerned. The book will be most useful in academic forums, and it will appeal to legislatures and judges who take the decisions and make the judgments necessary to protect the fabric of society in the face of technological medicine. In addition, this book is of relevance to medical doctors, ethicists, lawyers working in the field of medical law and ethics, and sociologists who are interested in end-of-life issues and social justice....

     Arthur L. Caplan has been an impotant voice in bioethics for many years. In a great number of essays and articles he has taken on some of the most pressing issues in bioethics today. This book brings his most important work together with new essays on autonomy in nursing homes and on the ethical issues raised by the mapping and sequencing of the human genome. In an introductory essay Caplan updates some of his views and responds to criticism.

Anotacija:

     "Norman Cantor tackles the most vexing problem of health care decision making: how to make decisions for people who cannot make them for themselves. At first glance, this issue would seem to be of interest only to bioethicists and physicians. But as the decline of mental faculties concurrent with aging, serious illness, or both is something that no one can count on avoiding, this should be a matter of concern to all. After decades of wandering in the woods, there is finally an overarching approach to this problem in Cantor`s work." - Alan Meisel, Professor of Law, and Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote Professor of Bioethics, University of Pittsburgh....

     Ira Carmen seeks a fusion of experimental biological research and political science research as he explores the important and controversial realm of human genomics. Politics in the Laboratory takes a close look at the ethical, legal, social, constitutional, and political implications of modern biological research. It addresses both biopolicy issues and basic science - including cloning, embryonic stem cell investigations, and experimentation involving the human germline - from the perspective of a political scientist....

Anotacija:

     During its first two years of publication, Philosophy Public Affairs contributed to the public debate on abortion a set of remarkable and brilliant articles which examine the basic philosophical issues posed by this controversial subject: whether the fetus is a person, whether it has a right to life, whether a woman has a right to decide what happens in and to her body, whether there is an ethical connection between abortion and infanticide, whether there is any point after conception where it is possible to draw the line beyond which killing is impermissible. These five essays, together here for the first time in a single volume, offer radically differing points of view; they provide the best sustained discussion of these philosophical issues available anywhere.
