Summary
In this important book, Onora O'Neill suggests that the conceptions of individual autonomy so widely relied on in bioethics are philosophically and ethically inadequate, and that they undermine rather than support relations of trust. Her book will appeal to a wide range of readers in ethics, bioethics and related disciplines.

Summary
Human cloning is a main focus of current bioethical discussion. Involving the self-understanding of the human species, it has become one of the most debated topics in biomedical ethics, not only on the national, but also on the international level. This book brings together articles by bioethicists from several countries who address questions of human cloning within the context of different cultural, religious and regional settings against the background of globalizing biotechnology. It explores on a cross-cultural level the problems and opportunities of global bioethics.

Summary
The so-called science wars pit science against culture, and nowhere is the struggle more contentious--or more fraught with paradox--than in the burgeoning realm of genetics. A constructive response, and a welcome intervention, this volume brings together biological and cultural anthropologists to conduct an interdisciplinary dialogue that provokes and instructs even as it bridges the science/culture divide.

Summary
Bioethics, born in the 1960s and 1970s, has achieved great success, but also has experienced recent growing pains, as illustrated by the case of Terri Schiavo. In The Future of Bioethics, Howard Brody, a physician and scholar who dates his entry into the field in 1972, sifts through the various issues that bioethics is now addressing--and some that it is largely ignoring--to chart a course for the future. Traditional bioethical concerns such as medical care at the end of life and research on human subjects will continue to demand attention. Brody chooses to focus instead on less obvious issues.

Summary
"'Autonomy and the Situated Self' offers a critique of contemporary mainstream bioethics and proposes an alternative framework for the exploration of bioethical issues. It also contrasts two conceptions of autonomy, one based on a liberal model but detached from its political foundation and one that is responsive to the concerns of virtue ethics and connected to the concept of human flourishing."--Provided by publisher.

Summary
"We experience unprecedented freedom of moral and consumer choice, alongside intrusive regulation of our day-to-day activities. Our major constraints are peculiarly modern - economic expectations, not knowing what to do, or a profound awareness of the impact of our personal and national decisions on others. Understanding Ethics introduces the frameworks of moral philosophy to analyse contemporary moral issues and perennial human dilemmas. While the early chapters which provide the theory section remain substantially the same, the rest of the book is expanded in theme so that there are now fourteen chapters altogether, where previously there were ten. Reflecting serious issues of our times a new chapter on War, Terrorism and Violence has been provided while Preston has undertaken a complete revision updating his work to reflect developments in: Key bioethical issues such as: Stell cem research, cloning and genetic patents · Genetically modified cropping · Biodiversity · Impact on developing countries Key themes in education and the workplace such as: Ethics for teachers and schools · Ethics of disciplinary processes Global themes: Ethics of population and poverty · Global governance and global citizenship New Section on War, Terrorism and Violence includes material on: Capital Punishment · War including “تuٱٰ wف ْٰوم”ُْ” · Ϟδοομοζπκ αλγ ϟμοϟροδ Δλσζομλκδλϟαι ϟϝδκδπ ϝασδ βδδλ ρνγαϟδγ εομκ νοδσζμρπ δγζϟζμλπ: Δαοϟϝ Cϝαοϟδο αλγ δϐμ ηρπϟζϐδ · Αλζκαι οζϛϝϟπ · Δϟϝζϐπ, ϛιμβαι ςαοκζλϛ αλγ δλδοϛυ νμιζϐυ Πδτραιζϟυ: Ρνγαϟδ μλ Πακδ πδτ καοοζαϛδ αλγ ϝρκαλ οζϛϝϟπ.-́-Νομσζγδγ βυ νρβιζπϝδο.
