This book is the most comprehensive treatment available of one of the most urgent and yet in some respect most neglected problems in bioethics: decision making treatment and care decisions for patients who are not competent to decide for themselves. It provides an in-depth analysis of competence, articulates and defends a coherent set of principles to specify suitable surrogate decisionmakers and to guide their choices, examines the value of advance directives, and investigates the role that considerations of cost ought to play in decisions concerning incompetents. Part two applies this theoretical framework to the distinctive problems of three important classes of individuals, many of whom are incompetent: minors, the elderly, and psychiatric patients.
The authors` approach combines a probing analysis of fundamental issues in ethical theory with sensitive awareness of the concrete realities of health care institutions and the highly personal and individual character of difficult practical problems. Its broad scope will appeal to health professionals, moral philosophers and lawyers alike.

Biomedical policy calls for a critical synthesis of work in bioethics and public policy analysis. The essays collected here are pioneering efforts to forge that synthesis. Each makes an important statement; collectively, they represent the finest thinking available on ethical and social issues in health care rationing, and genetic and reproductive technologies. Emerging issues in biomedical policy is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand or take part in the ongoing debates on these issues in the future.

MARGARET PABST BATTIN has established a reputation as one of the top philosophers working in bioethics today. This work is a sequel to Battin's 1994 volume The Least Worst Death. The last ten years have seen fast-moving developments in end-of-life issues, from the legalization of physician-assisted suicide in Oregon and the Netherlands, to a furor over proposed restrictions of scheduled drugs used for causing death, and the development of "NuTech" methods of assistance in dying. Battin's new collection covers a remarkably wide range of end-of-life topics, including suicide prevention, AIDS, suicide bombing, serpent-handling and other religious practices that pose a risk of death, genetic prognostication, suicide in old age, and global justice as it relates to the "duty to die." It also examines suicide, physician-assisted suicide, and euthanasia in both American and international contexts....

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND PROBLEMS IN BUSINESS ETHICS delves into basic questions of business ethics in laymen`s terms, dealing with them so that their significance in the real world is readily apparent. Each chapter asks a new question (Why be moral? - Chapter 2; Should ethical statements be taken seriously? - Chapter 6; Can a corporation be made moral? - Chapter 9). These questions are answered using the premise that one`s position on more narrow issues is likely to be determined by the beliefs held on these basic issues. Cases help reinforce the practical applications that these ethical issues have in common business situations.

Conferences of the Council for Internation Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) are aimed at creating international and interdisciplinary forums to enable the scientific and lay communities to exchange views on topics of immediate concern, unhampered by administrative, political or other considerations. They discuss not only the scientific and technical basis of new developments in biology and medicine and other related areas, but also their social, economic, ethical, administrative and legal implications. Participants in these conferences are prominent representatives of different fields of medicine, the natural and social sciences, philosophy, theology, law and health policymaking. This multidisciplinary approach is felt to be the best means of obtaining a comprehensive picture of issues that do not fall within the exclusive domain of any one profession.

This is the first in the annual series of volumes on medical law and ethics based on lectures given at the Centre of Medical Law and Ethics, King`s College London. The contributors, who come from a wide range of disciplines and represent diverse interests, review important issues in the forefront of recent controversy, relating particularly to artificially assited reproduction and to the Gillick judgment. It is hoped that their essays will stimulate reflection and debate on the ethical and legal issues that surround contemporary medical practice.

Sollicit es par un nombre croissant de couples, les techniques de procration medicale assiste (PMA) se sont banalises, ouvrant aujourd'hui un veritable debat sur le statut de l'embryon humain, dans lequel psychologues et psychiatres sont amenes à jouer un rôle crucial. En effet, comment nier l'impact des modalites de conception de l'être humain sur son propre devenir psychologique?
Dans cet ouvrage, Benoît Bayle aborde en detail les differentes problematiques lies à cette question. Exposant tout d'abord la progression des recherches effectues dans la connaissance des processus conceptionnels, du developpement embryonnaire, puis par la suite des moyens de pallier à l'infertilite, l'auteur resitue la place de l'individu à naître dans ce contexte conceptionnel qu'il qualifie de veritable revolution. Enfants de la PMA, conçus de couples steriles, d'un père dejà mort au moment de la fecondation, ou encore d'une mère menopause, tous ces cas sont abordes à l'aide de nombreuses observations cliniques qui vienenent illustrer le propos. L'auteur introduit alors la notion d'e être-conçu, mettant en avant l'importance du lien entre conception et developpement psychologique futur de l'individu conçu.

"This is an excellent book. It informs the reader about the medical and historical facts surrounding various diseases, but more importantly, it focuses on the patient`s experience of each disease as it is suffered, diagnosed, and treated. The perspective of the person experiencing the disease is quite remarkable and powerfully drawn in these stories." - James Childress, Edwin B.

Many ethical issues confront contemporary society. In response to this, over the last two decades or so, many philosophers have returned to an examination of ethical problems. Enrollments in ethics courses have increased, and various courses on specialized topics bioethics, business ethics, professional ethics have developed. Yet the majority of students still take only one general course in ethics. This book has been designed to acquaint introductory students with ethical theory as well as to present to them various approaches to interesting topics of practical concern.

"Drawing on a wide range of novels, poems, and plays as well as on medical case histories, a physician/philosopher illustrates the meaning of the sick role not only for the sufferer but for his or her friends and family and for the doctor as well.
[Brody] shows us how literary criticism and social sciences can be applied to the tales of illness that doctors and patients tell one another. This rational, compassionate book should serve as a splendid text for courses in the medical
humanities as they are now taught in medical schools. A pleasure to read."

"The author's unique analysis provides an original contribution to the literature and should be read by anyone interested in the philosophical principles that guide biomedical research and by those involved in the development of guidelines and policies. For those who participate in research involving humans or animals and for anyone involved in multinational research, this book should be kept readily available as an important resource." - The New England Journal of Medicine.
"[This is]... the first time this material has been brought together... it must be considered an important contribution to the literature itself." - The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"This is a book I strongly recommend to a broad audience of readers. Written by the well-known American bioethicist Baruch Brody, it summarizes the results of more than a decade of research. To conclude, Brody's book is a most valuable contribution to biochemical research ethics and bioethics. It provokes philosophical inquiry about the meaning of research policies in particular, and moral reasoning in general. It also provides an unprecedented international perspective as well as an illuminating and critical analysis of the specific problems of biomedical research. These features make this book one of the most promising in the field of research ethics." - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy.

This book is the first in-depth study of occupational health in nineteenth and early-twentieth century Britain. As such it is an important contribution to the burgeoning literature on the history of health in the workplace. It focuses on the first four diseases to receive bureaucratic and legislative recognition: lead, arsenic and phosphorus poisoning and anthrax. As such it traces the emergence of medical knowledge and growth in public concern about the impact of these diseases in several major industries including pottery manufacture, matchmaking, wool-sorting and the multifarious trades in which arsenic was used as a raw material. It considers the process of state intervention taking due account of the influence of government inspectors, 'moral entrepreneurs' and various interest groups.

Engagingly written by one oh the foremost experts on issues involving death and dying, this book offers insight into the controversial and often difficult topics of withdrawing and withholding care, euthanasia, and suicide. An extensive introduction identifies the principal ethical issues, and the book explores such dilemmas as rationing health care for the elderly, whether there is a "duty to die", counseling in rational suicide, the risks of abuse with active euthanasia, religious
views about suicide, whether suicide can be understood as a fundamental human right, and others. It also examines the differing practices of Holland and Germany in ending life. Exploring the dilemmas raised by contemporary medicine concerning the way we die, and collecting under one cover a myriad of crucial elements involving one of the most inflammatory issues of our time, The Least Worst Death presents a timely, international analysis for anyone interested in bioethics or medical and applied ethics.

They extend their search for answers beyond the confines of traditional Western thought and tap the rich intellectual resources of Confucianism.
STUDIES IN APPLIED ETHICS (SAE) draws on the ethical resources of Western as well as Eastern traditions of thought to publish books that bring moral theory and vision to bear on the pressing issues of contemporary life.
