     Autonomy and Human Rights in Healthcare: An International Perspective is a group of essays published in memory of David Thomasma, one of the leading humanists in the field of bioethics during the twentieth century. A pioneer in the field of multidisciplinary research, having integrated major theological and philo­sophical traditions in the west with modern science, Thomasma was a role model to the authors who have devoted essays to his major avenues of inquiry. The aut­hors represent many different countries and disciplines throughout the globe. The volume deals with the pressing issue of how to ground a universal bioethics in the context of the conflicted world of combative cultures and perspectives.


Pavadinimas: CARING ABOUT MORALITY: PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES IN MORAL PSYCHOLOGY
Autoriai: THOMAS E. WREN

Anotacija:

     Thomas Wren is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University of Chicago. This is a book about the motivational dimension of conscience. The classical view of this dimension is that truly moral men and women want to do what is right and good for its own sake. However, that "internalist" view has been eclipsed in recent psychologies of morality, in favor of the view that people act morally for the same intrinsic rewards and punishments that supposedly motivate every other sort of human action. Wren examines the philosophical underpinnings of these theories, in order to show that it is possible to develop a social and behavioral science compatible with and even based upon the conviction that morality is intrinsically motivating.

Anotacija:

     Clinical     decisions     in     modern medical practices are increasingly influenced   by   ethical   and legal issues, but few doctors have been formally   trained   in   medical law and ethics, and many are unsure of potential sources of accessible information,   which   leaves them exposed to public criticism and the threat of legal action. Perioperative medicine and critical care are, by their very nature, subjects in which issues  of autonomy, dignity, consent, confidentiality, medical research, life-and-death decision making, and the rationing of healthcare resources are ever-present. This book provides a straightforward but comprehensive one-stop reference and should be essential reading for all medical and allied healthcare professionals who encounter ethicolegal problems during their management of patients.

Anotacija:

     Readers of this volume will benefit from learning the complexities of decision making with patients and families, the principles of ethical reasoning, and the modern communication goals of doctor-patient relationships. In today's practice, learning about the patient's choices of care and treatment has a new importance alongside the traditional focus of the clinical method on getting information for accurate diagnosis. Besides eliciting complaints of bodily and emotional distress for diagnosis, medicine's discourse with patients must increasingly communicate about treatment in effect, about the values patients hold about dying, suffering, and wanting to know (or not) their hidden risks for disease. This volume takes the reader in these important directions.

     "Wallwork`s purpose is to give ethical issues their proper philosophical due in Freud by seeing what place they may have in Freud's entire conception of what it means to be human. The effort is hugely successful." - William J. Richardson, Department of Philosophy, Boston College.

     Genetics research with stored human tissues provides many benefits and holds much promise. Yet how this critical research is conducted sometimes raises serious ethical, legal, and social concerns, and it is difficult to balance the promise of biomedical research with our time-honored commitments to individual choice in such fundamental matters as control over personal health information and the disposition of our bodily tissues....
